Learning Incentive Program

• Manager earns 3-Star Pin 

Recognition programs fuel support and enthusiasm for learning. This is why the Institute provides a pin program, which allows retailers to recognize their associates' online training achievements. The program offers three levels (three pins) of recognition based on each associates' number of course completions:

Retailers are free to define their organization's award cycle.  

• Cost: $2.00 USD per pin + shipping 
• Payment: credit card or check 
• To order: complete order form  

Program Guidelines 

• Course completion totals are cumulative. The courses that counted towards a 1 STAR pin will also count towards a 3 STAR and 5 STAR pin.  
• Courses: The two welcome to training courses do not contribute toward a pin:
  • Welcome to Online Training  
  • Welcome to Training for Managers  
    
• A single course completed multiple times within the same year only counts as one completion.  
• Individual courses within a curriculum count towards the program, but the certification for the completion of the curriculum as a whole does not. 
• The Institute reserves the right to verify an associate’s number of course completions before sending the pin.
