Launch rule
Free value first, paid certification only through controlled pathways.
The strongest launch sequence is now visible on the public site: open useful free Level 1 material first, let visitors run readiness self-checks, collect training interest, publish credible paid pathways, and activate each paid pathway only after checkout, access, student dashboard, assessment, capstone review, and certificate issue controls are validated end to end.
Credential boundary
Free learning records and paid certificates are not the same thing.
Free member recordUseful for personal tracking
A free learning record can show that a signed-in member passed a self-check quiz. It is not externally verified, has no certificate ID, and is not a paid credential. Open the assessment center.
Paid TCAA certificateOnly through review gates
A paid certificate requires tested enrollment, payment, course access, assessment rules, capstone evidence, certificate generation, public verification, admin review, and support workflows. See certificate flow. Verify a certificate.
