Three levels, from simplest to most demanding. Each one only claims what it actually verifies.
Attendance certificate
Earned by: Modules followed
Proves: You followed the track — no graded assessment.
Certificate of achievement
Earned by: Full track completed on the platform, final project included, and final exam passed
Proves: Your knowledge and your final project, evaluated by the platform.
Field Practice Validated distinction
Earned by: A field challenge completed after the exam, in a real situation, with evidence
Proves: A CoursTech mentor reviewed and validated a genuine real-world application.
The distinction is added to your certificate of achievement — it never replaces it: nothing off-platform ever blocks the certificate itself.
