Overview

Your learning budget is the spending allowance your organization gives you to grow — courses, books, certifications, conferences, and more. You see what you have, request what you want, and the platform handles the payment.

What is a credit?

A credit is a budget category. Your admin breaks the total budget into named buckets so spend stays organized and policies can apply differently to different kinds of learning.
Credit typeTypical use
PersonalSelf-directed development you choose for yourself
TeamSpend pooled with your team — shared learning goals
CompanyOrg-wide allocations (compliance, mandatory training, all-hands learning)
Ad-hocOne-off allocations for specific events, projects, or campaigns
Each credit type has its own balance and its own approval rules. When you submit a request, the right credit is picked based on what you’re requesting and what your admin set up.

Where to see your budget

Open My Wallet — the wallet icon in the top-right of the Catalog. You’ll see:
  • Your remaining balance per credit type
  • Pending requests awaiting approval
  • Approved requests awaiting your action (redeem voucher, upload receipt, use card)
  • Recent activity
Don’t see a wallet icon? Your organization may not have the LXP module enabled, or you may not have any credits allocated yet. Contact your admin.

What you can do with your budget

  • Request a course from the catalog — picks a paid Udemy / Coursera / etc. course and submits it for approval.
  • Submit a custom request for content not in the catalog — paste a URL and an estimated cost.
  • Track requests — see status, approver, and next step on each one.
  • Use a voucher or card once your request is approved.
For the request lifecycle in detail, see Learning Requests. For what happens after approval, see Vouchers (Credit Cards).
