Pathway Certificate of Completion
Recognition is tied to defined unit completion and required portfolio/capstone evidence.
Implementation scope
Choose the scope: full pathway, selected modules, or a pilot.
The same core curriculum can support a full pathway, targeted unit integration, or a shorter pilot experience.
Recognition & professional learning
Certificates for learners. Microcredentialing for educators.
Student pathways can culminate in a program-issued certificate of completion tied to portfolio or capstone evidence. Educators can earn a Drone Career Explorer microcredential through professional learning and implementation evidence.
