How to Configure the ProProfs Training Maker Gamification Features

Gamification isn’t just about fun — it helps learners stay motivated and engaged throughout the course. ProProfs Training Maker lets you add game-like elements such as leaderboards, points, and badges to create a sense of achievement and healthy competition.

This feature is especially valuable when:

• You want to improve course completion rates by keeping learners invested

• You need to incentivize participation in compliance-heavy or long-term training

• You’re training large groups and want visibility into top performers

Once enabled, learners can track their progress, earn badges, and see how they rank on the leaderboard right from the Classroom dashboard.

To configure gamification features in ProProfs Training Maker:

Step 1: Go to More > Gamification on your training maker dashboard. The gamification page will open.

Step 2: Enable gamification features for trainees.

Step 2.1: Turn on POINTS and LEADERBOARD, respectively. Activate/deactivate individual options listed here. Assign the points for different milestones.

Step 2.2: Turn on the BADGES option. Select the ones learners can earn upon achieving specific milestones related to courses, quizzes, & surveys.

Since you’ve enabled and configured the gamification features, learners can see data, such as total points, certificates, badges, and the leaderboard, when they log into the classroom. Learners can click each tab to check their progress and achieve milestones to earn more points and move up the leaderboard.

How to Share Badges on Social Media

1. To share the earned badges with peers and friends, learners can click the Badges tab to open their collection. 

2. On hovering over a badge, three icons will appear: Facebook, X(formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn. Suppose a learner wants to share the badge on LinkedIn. They can simply click on the LinkedIn icon. 

3. An overlay will open with the following options:

a. To share the badge on the feed

b. To add the badge to the License or Certification section on the profile page

Share your achievement! Click "Share" to post your latest ProProfs Training Maker badge on LinkedIn. Sign in to LinkedIn in the new tab that opens and proceed.

Best Practices for Admins

• Set realistic milestones: Make badges meaningful by tying them to valuable actions like course completion or top quiz scores

• Use gamification with compliance training: It works surprisingly well to maintain attention in mandatory sessions

• Spot high performers: Use leaderboards to identify learners who are consistently engaged—great for recognition or deeper involvement

FAQs

Currently, you can choose from available badge designs. Custom uploads aren't supported.

Do points reset if a learner retakes a course?

No, points are cumulative unless you manually reset a learner’s progress.

Not directly from the leaderboard, but you can view and export course performance from the Reports tab.
