How this program works: Each lesson follows a mastery-learning path: watch a short video, work through the learning module, practice every learning component as a hands-on activity, apply it in a written response (with optional AI coach feedback), then take a quiz with hints and explanations. Your quiz score earns your level — Novice (under 50%), Emerging (50–74%), Proficient (75–99%) or Advanced (100%). You need at least Emerging to move on, and module levels average your lesson levels. Lessons unlock in order — finish Module 1 to start Module 2, and all lessons to unlock the credential capstone.
