Question 1

Which KnowMeQ solution should my institution start with?

Accepted Answer

Start with ArchieCPL if your institution wants to recognize prior learning, attract adult learners, reduce manual CPL review, or turn work, military, training and life experience into possible credit pathways. Start with Eddie / Ed-T if your biggest challenge is transfer credit: slow decisions, fragmented equivalency records, repeated course reviews, or limited visibility into precedent data. Start with Johari if your organization needs to identify skills, gaps, adaptability and next-best pathways for upskilling, promotion, outplacement, workforce planning or career transition.

Question 2

When should we choose ArchieCPL?

Accepted Answer

Choose ArchieCPL when your institution wants to make Credit for Prior Learning faster, clearer and more scalable — to recruit more adult learners, help learners see where their experience may count, reduce CPL staff workload, support veterans, workers and career shifters, turn prior learning into enrolment revenue, and create a stronger CPL intake and review process. Simple rule: use ArchieCPL when the learning happened through work, military, training, life experience or non-traditional pathways.

Question 3

When should we choose Eddie / Ed-T?

Accepted Answer

Choose Eddie / Ed-T when your institution wants to improve transfer credit review — to match previously earned credits to approved equivalencies, reuse historical transfer credit decisions, reduce repeated course reviews, make transfer credit potential more visible to learners, use confidence scores and precedent data to support faster review, and build a living credit precedent database. Simple rule: use Eddie / Ed-T when the learner already has previous college or university credit and needs to know how it transfers.

Question 4

When should we choose Johari?

Accepted Answer

Choose Johari when your organization needs better skills intelligence — to identify current skills and gaps, understand adaptability and readiness, support workforce upskilling, guide promotion or succession decisions, help laid-off workers or career shifters find better next steps, and connect people to roles, training, credentials or career pathways. Simple rule: use Johari when the question is — what skills does this person have, what gaps exist, and what pathway fits next?

Question 5

When do we need the KnowMeQ Digital Standard?

Accepted Answer

The Digital Standard is the foundation that connects KnowMeQ tools. It is especially important when your organization wants to connect skills, competencies, learning outcomes, prior learning, transfer credit and career pathways through a common language. Simple rule: use the Digital Standard when you need multiple systems, institutions, employers or pathways to speak the same skills language.
