Learning goals are the **outcome of a feedback conversation** with your supervisor, or of your self-reflection. They **help you reflect** on the feedbacks and **nurture your competence** for the next time you encounter a similar situation as the one assessed. Tap on "**Goals**" on the bottom navigation pane to access your learning goals.  ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/0_Navigation-png.png?width=402&height=76&name=0_Navigation-png.png) ### Accept learning goals from your supervisors On "**Suggested Goals**", you will find the learning goals that were suggested by a supervisor to you. Your supervisor will only be able to see learning goals they phrased for you, when you**[share your profile](https://www.prepared.app/resources/share-data-with-supervisors-institution-and-others?hsLang=en)** with them, and accept their learning goals. For that, tap on the **three dots** next to the learning goal, and tap "**Move to My Goals**".  ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/TR%2021%20suggested%20LGs-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=TR%2021%20suggested%20LGs-png.png)   ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/TR%2022%20edit%20LG-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=TR%2022%20edit%20LG-png.png)   On "**My Goals**", you will find **all accepted** as well as **own learning goals**, which you created yourself. To get there, **swipe left** on your screen, or **tap on the heading** on top of your screen. ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/TR%2023%20my%20LGs-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=TR%2023%20my%20LGs-png.png) ### Add own learning goals Use the **"+" button** in the bottom right corner of your "My Goals" tab, from where you can **add a learning goal** yourself. The app also lets you capture a learning goal **following a self-assessment**. **Type your learning goal** or use the **text-to-speech** function to capture a learning goal. ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/1_New%20LG-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=1_New%20LG-png.png)   ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/2_LG%20entered-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=2_LG%20entered-png.png) You can either **confirm** the learning goal **as is**, or **add multimedia attachments** to your learning goal. Use the **text feature** to note more details about the learning goal. ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/2a_Text%20empty-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=2a_Text%20empty-png.png)   ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/2a_Text-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=2a_Text-png.png) When adding a **photo or video**, you can either **record** something or access your **phone storage**. Remember that you are not allowed to store patient-specific data in preparedEPA, so keep the recordings anonymous or general.  ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/2b_Photo%20or%20Video-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=2b_Photo%20or%20Video-png.png)    You can **record audio directly** in the app, and **add PDF files from your phone** by tapping on the according buttons. ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/2c_Audio-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=2c_Audio-png.png) Once confirmed, your learning goal will show up directly under "**My Goals**".  ### Edit or archive learning goals Sometimes, you want to **adapt a suggested learning goal**, or **update one** that you created yourself. Also, once you **reached** a learning goal, or if one is **no longer relevant** to you, you want to take it out of your "My Goals" list. For that, you can edit or archive **any learning goal** from the "**Suggested**" and the "**My Goals**" tabs. To do so, tap on the **three dots to the right** of the learning goal. ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/3_My%20Goals-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=3_My%20Goals-png.png)   ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/4_Edit%20or%20Archive-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=4_Edit%20or%20Archive-png.png)    "**Edit goal**" takes you to the editing screen, and "**Archive**" moves the goal to your learning goals archive.  ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/4a_Edit%20LG-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=4a_Edit%20LG-png.png)   ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/4b_Archived-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=4b_Archived-png.png) On the "**Archive**" tab, you will find all past learning goals.  ![](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/5_LG%20Archive-png.png?width=213&height=450&name=5_LG%20Archive-png.png) - [preparedEPA](https://www.prepared.app/resources/preparedepa?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started](https://www.prepared.app/resources/preparedepa?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [for trainees](https://www.prepared.app/resources/preparedepa?hsLang=en#for-trainees) - [for supervisors](https://www.prepared.app/resources/preparedepa?hsLang=en#for-supervisors) - [for medical students](https://www.prepared.app/resources/preparedepa?hsLang=en#for-medical-students) - [Frequently asked questions (FAQ)](https://www.prepared.app/resources/preparedepa?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions-faq) - [prepared360](https://www.prepared.app/resources/prepared360?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started](https://www.prepared.app/resources/prepared360?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Frequently asked questions (FAQ)](https://www.prepared.app/resources/prepared360?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions-faq) - [preparedCockpit](https://www.prepared.app/resources/preparedcockpit?hsLang=en) - [CBE / EPA Insights](https://www.prepared.app/resources/cbe-epa-insights?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://www.prepared.app/hs-fs/hubfs/logo_corp_white_wide_800.png?width=59&height=24&name=logo_corp_white_wide_800.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.prepared.app?hsLang=en) Dedicated to learner-centered education Copyright © 2026, prepared (by precisionED AG)
