A credit at Helaman's Academy is either a content based credit or a time based credit.  A "content" based credit is mastering certain skills or completing a text book (like a math book). A "time" based credit is spending time at that skill like practicing a musical instrument or playing on a sports team for a certain amount of time; roughly about 120 hours.
