A Skill is something a learner will automatically use and develop when taking part in Steps and Courses.
What do we mean? Think of it this way:
How to Plant a Tree = Gardening Skill
How to Close a Sale = Sales Skill
Identifying Counterfeit Currency = Banking Skill
It's not possible to learn how to plant a tree without using your Gardening Skill, likewise with the other examples, because they automatically work together.

Skills Can Be Specific
You can choose to keep your Skills general, like the above examples, or you can break them down even further.
When looking at "Identifying Counterfeit Currency," other Skills used include:

It's great to break down and name Skills in this way, but it is up to you how detailed, or general, you want them to be.
