03 The credential boundary

Practice first.
Credentials, carefully.

Planned · Certification

Free courses offer completion checks. The proposed Pro pathway adds practical assessment and independent human review. Course completion, a consultancy partner credential and a client’s reporting certificate are three separate things.

No course payment or machine pass awards a credential. The proposed pathway is first-party; it is not Microsoft accreditation. Dates, fees and award policies remain pending approval.
