Learn, resume and earn Academy course badges

Choose a course, save your lesson progress and understand what a completion badge does and does not mean.

Before you start: A signed-in creator account is required to save progress and take knowledge checks.

Open Academy

Choose the skill you need next

Start with Creator foundations if you are new to campaign work. The other courses cover clipping, UGC, influencer partnerships, affiliate content and brand-dedicated accounts. All six are available to creators regardless of their currently unlocked earning tracks.

Each course contains four reading lessons, worked examples, copyable practice worksheets, self-check criteria and five scenario questions. Examples are illustrative, not live campaigns or default terms. These are text courses, not video lessons. Copy a worksheet into your own notes; Vouched does not save your worksheet answers or assess the practical exercise.

Save and resume your progress

Read a lesson, work through its checklist and select Mark complete & continue. The completion saves to your Vouched account. If saving fails, stay on the lesson and retry. Merely opening a lesson does not mark it complete.

Return to Academy to continue an unfinished course. You can revisit earlier lessons using the lesson menu. All lessons must be marked complete before you submit the knowledge check.

Take the knowledge check

Answer all five questions and submit. Vouched grades the answers on the server. A score of at least 80%, four correct answers out of five, passes. The result includes explanations so you can revisit the relevant lesson.

You have five attempts per course per UTC day. The allowance resets at midnight UTC, which is 8 a.m. in the Philippines. A later unsuccessful attempt does not remove an already earned completion. If the course version changes, reload before submitting; progress and results belong to the version you studied.

Understand the badge

A passed course appears under Academy course completions in About you & tracks and on your public creator card when that card is visible. Your exact score, attempt count and lesson-by-lesson progress are not displayed on the public card.

The badge confirms completed lessons and a passed knowledge check. It is not identity verification, professional certification, assessed practical skill, a track unlock or a promise of campaign acceptance. Campaign requirements and your account's verification status still apply separately.

Put the lesson to work

Use the course's next-step link to find relevant work or prepare your next piece. Check the actual brief, delivery route, rights, payment terms and platform rules before accepting. Account setup and authentic audience research do not guarantee reach; Academy does not recommend bought engagement or an algorithmic warm-up ritual.

The lessons separate general industry work from current Vouched controls. Campaign submissions currently take public post URLs; private UGC file handoff must be resolved separately, and raw-video cleanup is not delivery. A cash UGC campaign currently uses one of three models: payment per 1,000 verified views, a base plus those views, or a flat fee per approved video. Affiliate campaigns currently use attributed-sales commission or a view-based bounty pool, not arbitrary signup rewards. Incorrect quiz answers link back to the relevant lesson. An updated edition has its own progress, while an earlier earned badge remains on your profile.

Common questions

Can I buy an Academy completion badge?

No. Complete the lessons and pass the course knowledge check. A payment or subscription does not award it.

Will my quiz score appear publicly?

No. The public card shows the course-completion label and completion date, not your score, attempts or lesson progress.

Do the courses unlock paid work?

No. Check About you & tracks for earning-track requirements. Academy completion is a separate learning milestone.
