How it works
Each level is a short course built from the docs. You finish its challenges, then sit its exam.
01
Read a docs page
Every challenge comes from one page of the real docs, so you learn the product the way it works today.
02
Prove it
Pass a short quiz, or finish a check on your own server. Checks are confirmed from account data QuickBox already holds.
03
Pass the level exam
15 questions drawn from the whole level, 12 to pass, 2 attempts a week. It opens once every challenge in the level is done.
04
Collect the reward
Points, a badge for the level, and a place on the leaderboard if you want one. The next level opens a week later.
What you earn
Challenges build progress and badges. Points are paid once, when you pass a level exam, and every point is worth exactly one cent in Rewards.
- Points
- 1,500 across the whole path, added to the same Rewards balance you already use.
- Badges
- One for every level you pass, shown on your dashboard.
- A role
- QB University graduates get a role on the site and in Discord.
Points and the role are released while your account has an active license. Your progress is saved either way, and you can claim what you earned when you subscribe.

Leaderboard
Ranked by the highest level reached, then by who got there first. Only members who opted in are listed.
Nobody is on the leaderboard yet
It fills up as members finish levels and choose to appear. Finish a level, then turn the leaderboard on from your stackU page to be the first.
- How it is ranked
- By the highest stackU level a member has finished, then by who reached it first. Never by an exam score.
- Opt-in only
- Nobody appears until they turn the leaderboard on from their stackU page, and turning it off removes them straight away.
- What is shown
- A name the member chose, their level, their badge count and the date they reached it. Never an email, a license or any account detail.
Level 101 is open.
Anyone with a QuickBox account can take part. Start with the first docs page and work up.
