# Certificate Requirements

## What You Must Complete to Earn the Certificate

A student receives the ARTTECHES course completion certificate only when **all** of the following are met:

1. **Overall score of 60% or higher (pass mark: 60%).**
   Final score is calculated from these grade weights:
   - Daily exercises: **20%**
   - Module assignments: **25%**
   - Projects (P01–P06): **30%**
   - Final portfolio: **25%**

2. **All 6 projects submitted.**
   - P01 — Logo Design
   - P02 — Social Media Post
   - P03 — Flyer
   - P04 — Business Card
   - P05 — Brand Identity

   A missing project counts as zero for that project.

3. **Final exam completed.**
   The final exam in 11-QUIZZES-AND-ASSESSMENTS must be attempted and submitted.

4. **Original work only — no plagiarism.**
   All submitted work must be the student's own. Copying another student's work, submitting downloaded designs as your own, or using unlicensed copied artwork in projects leads to disqualification from certification. Concept work must be labeled honestly (see Portfolio-Creation-Guide.md).
