Develop the skill linked to the activity you want to unlock, then check its progress and the activity’s actual requirement. Skills, Career performance and course certificates are related but different: completing one does not automatically prove that the other two have advanced.
Choose the relevant skill
The recorded Skills panel and public action descriptions identify Cooking, Charisma, Fitness, Coding, Music, Hustle, Dance, Comedy and Photography. Use the label and progress shown on your own profile; a list of skill names is not a promise that every training object is already owned.
| Goal | Relevant practice or route | Check afterward |
|---|---|---|
| Coding activities | CcHub → Hack on Side Project | Coding level/progress and the target gig’s lock |
| Cooking | An available recipe on cooking equipment | Ingredients spent, task completion and Cooking progress |
| Music or dance | The appropriate instrument or dance action | The named skill, not just Fun |
| Fitness | An available workout activity | Fitness progress and any needs cost |
| A qualification | UNILAG Short Courses or Phone → Courses | Passed lessons, certificate and the stated perk |
At 11:30, the full-features recording shows CcHub’s side-project and freelance choices. The side-project card identifies Coding as a benefit. An ATM-crime card appears beside them, but it is a separate risky action; practicing coding does not require committing it.
Check that practice is progressing
Read your current Skills panel, start a practice action, let it complete and reopen the panel. Compare the same named skill and its progress indicator. The action definitions identify which skill is trained; they do not establish a universal number of repetitions or a real-minute training rate.
Some activities have prerequisites or are interrupted by needs, equipment, power or location. Resolve the displayed lock rather than queueing a task that cannot begin. An animation or a mood benefit alone does not confirm a skill level-up. For a job, inspect the Career requirement as well as Skills before predicting promotion.
Complete a UNILAG course
- Use UNILAG → Short Courses, or Phone → Courses, and choose the course that matches your goal. Read the fee and its advertised career or life-skill benefit.
- Go to UNILAG, Akoka for the available lesson. The official course text says classes take place there, and later lessons can depend on passing the previous one.
- Attend, read the unlocked notes and take the quiz. If you fail, use the displayed retry wait and review the notes; do not assume payment alone passed the lesson.
- Finish every required lesson and quiz. Check the course’s certificate and Goals entry. Passed lesson notes remain available for rereading.
The course interface explicitly distinguishes a life-skill course with no attached job from a career route. Check the promised perk before enrolling. This guide documents the official instructions and recorded menus; it does not claim to have earned a certificate or verified every course’s cost and unlock independently.
