Requirements for the Certificate

You're welcome to attend this course purely to learn the information.

However, if you plan to get a Content Specialist Certificate at the end of the course, you'll need to do the following:

  • Attend each of the 6 classes.
    • If you miss a class, you may make it up in a future round of the course.
    • We may allow for exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
  • Participate in each class.
    • We'll have several group and full-class discussions. These discussions help attendees better understand the concepts, learn from other agencies, and ask questions. Your classmates want to hear from you!
  • Complete the assignments.
    • Each class includes in-class assignments, and some include homework. You must complete each assignment before receiving the certificate.
  • Pass the test.
    • There will be an online, open-book test at the end of the course that you must pass with at least 70% to receive your certificate.
    • You can attempt the test twice.
    • If you fail to pass twice and still want to receive your certificate, you can re-attend the necessary class(es) in a future course and attempt the test again.
