    certification that can also count as a “student choice”verified

    credit toward those required for graduation.

    To obtain the credit, the student must successfully complete

    the course sequence that prepares individuals for state licensure

    or certification and pass the test required by the certifying agency.

    edge in the workplace, offer better opportunities for earning

    Requirements,” then “Substitute Tests for Verified Credit.”

    to meet the requirements for high school graduation while

    simultaneously earning college credits. In all cases, students must
