Prerequisite Skills and Qualifications Definition for Oracle Learning

Courses and specializations might have prerequisite skills and qualifications that learners need to have in their talent profiles before they can enroll in the learning. These prerequisites can include competencies, honors and awards, languages, and licenses and certifications.

For example, a learner needs basic Microsoft Word skills before they can enroll in your organization's Advanced Microsoft Word course. Or, to enroll in the instructor-led Spanish offering for the course, the learner must be fluent in Spanish.

Specialization prerequisites are independent of any prerequisites for the courses that make up the specialization. For example, your company's Advanced Microsoft Office specialization requires learners to have basic competencies in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. The specialization includes the Advanced Microsoft Word course, which requires intermediate experience with Microsoft Word. Learners can start the specialization if they have the basic certifications. They can't start the advanced course, however, until they also have the intermediate-level skill.
