How this programme works

Structure, scoring, duration and how the certificate is issued.

6 min read

Assessment is based on the work you submit, not on time spent.

Structure. The track consists of a knowledge assessment, two practical tasks, a final project, documentation and a community contribution. Each is a milestone with written acceptance criteria, published before you begin.

Scoring. Every milestone belongs to one of six areas, and each area carries a fixed weight out of 100. Your score is recalculated on the server whenever a submission is accepted, an assessment is graded or a pull request is merged. Values sent by the browser are not used.

Completion. You need at least 70 of 100 points, at least 60 per cent in the knowledge assessment, and every mandatory milestone completed. Reaching the point threshold with a milestone outstanding does not complete the track.

Duration. The track runs for a minimum of seven days from enrolment. The certificate becomes available once that period has elapsed and all requirements are met. Work submitted earlier is assessed as normal.

Certificate. On completion the platform records an immutable snapshot of your results, issues a numbered certificate and publishes a verification page. You supply your full legal name beforehand; it appears on the document and on the verification page.

Lessons are not assessed. Progress towards the certificate is recorded from the work you submit. See all requirements
