# GoVenture Certification

GoVenture Certification empowers students to showcase their business skills with an official credential issued by the makers of GoVenture. The process is very easy for instructors.

<hr style="margin: 0;">
## Implementation

- Designing your course to meet the GoVenture requirements ensures that all of your students are eligible for certification. 
 
- If your course cannot fully accommodate the requirements, you may instead offer students the option to complete the extra work needed for certification (which you must also facilitate).

- You are not required to inform us if you plan to pursue certification, but doing so allows us to confirm that you will meet the requirements. Contact us if you need help aligning your course with the requirements.

<hr style="margin: 0;">
## 4-Step Process

1. Adopt one or more eligible GoVenture programs for your course. 

2. Deliver your course with GoVenture integrated and aligned with best practices for achieving certification requirements — see below.

3. Validate student achievement and submit student names to GoVenture (no other personal information required). Your name as instructor will also appear on the certificate. <a href="https://coda.io/form/GoVenture-Certification-Submission-Form_d_SsOcX8xw5" target="_blank">View Submission Form</a>

4. Receive all student certificates in one email — you distribute them to students. There will be separate personalized PDFs for each student and all PDFs will be contained in a single ZIP file that you will receive as an email attachment.
