A clear completion standard

Review all three lessons in each module, complete its practical work, choose the evidence-based scenario response, and pass its assessment. Modules 1–6 require at least 75%; the final requires at least 80%. Review and retry are available.

All seven modules must report Passed to earn this course's Copper badge. Learning is self-paced and unproctored. Course achievement does not grant regulatory authority or certify a physical installation.
