Points for each certification attained

I think that will be a good idea to receive points for each certification attained.



It's a way to reward the effort of getting a certification and in my perspective it doesn't make much sense to get points for watching videos and not getting points when we pass a certification.

Best Regards,

João Fernandes

I just voted up your idea, i agree it would be nice if certifications somehow count towards community points.  

But there is one caveat : all other activities rewarded only cost time, getting certifications also costs money, so this is maybe a luxury not equally available to everyone in the community.

I don't agree with this idea. For getting a certification you already get rewarded with a badge.

Community points are collected for contributions to the community. One can get all certifications and give zero contribution to the community.

Hi Daniel,

If community points are collected for contributions to the community, why i can gain point just to watch training videos? Watching training videos also don't contribute to the community.

Fair point João, still stands that you already get rewarded by a certification badge

Hello João, 

Thank you for submitting your idea.

The certifications are paid, and that's the reason the Community team does not award points for it. Points should be given by efforts that are equally attainable by everyone.  

For this reason, I must tag this idea as Out of the scope. 

Please keep sharing your feedback so we can continue to improve our product for our users.

OutSystems should award points on certification complication (clearing certificate exam) as well.

Gamification always handy as a drive to people. I agree.

Hi, 

I don't think Outsystems needs to provide award points on certification; let's hope they take this as a priority or not.

Please first search ideas before posting it double, I need to merge this.

The original Idea was already marked as out-of-scope, so OutSystems has no intentions to implement this.

Merged this idea with 'Passing certification gives pts' (created on 26 Sep 2025 11:11:11 by Nino Gachechiladze)

I think it would be nice If passing a certification gave a person some pts in community, since it takes effort and time to pass one, even10 symbolic pts would be like appreciation of time spent studying and practising.
