For an Advanced Certificate of Completion an associate must complete any eight competencies in a minimum of six of the eight categories. For an Honors Certificate of Completion an associate must complete sixteen competencies in a minimum of seven of any the eight categories.

Suggestions for new competencies, or ways to improve current competencies, are greatly appreciated by the administrator.

Completed competencies can be submitted to the administrator at any time review.

Submitted competencies are reviewed Pass/Fail by the administrator. If the submitted competency does not meet the established standard, the administrator will provide the associate with comments indicating the deficiencies. Competencies can be re-submitted up to three times for review.
