To support ongoing learning objectives, users can also set personal credit goals directly within the widget. Goals can be defined by credit type and timeframe (for example, earning a specific number of CPD credits within a calendar year). Progress toward each goal is visually tracked, making it easy for users to see how close they are to achieving their targets.
