Earn a certificate

A certificate says you finished a course and built something real with it. There are four steps, and they happen in this order.

Track your progress
  1. Pass the course quizzes

    The questions inside each lesson are the quizzes. Finish every session in the course and get enough of the graded questions right to reach the course's pass mark (for example, 70%). Your best try on each question counts, and you can retry as often as you like. Passing makes you eligible to submit a capstone.

  2. Submit a capstone project

    One submission per course, with four parts:

    • A public GitHub repo

      Your project, built with what the course taught. Each course suggests a few briefs, or pick your own. It needs a README and work done after you enrolled.

    • A 2–5 minute explainer video

      YouTube, Loom or Google Drive, viewable by anyone with the link. Show the project running, then walk through the code.

    • A public social post

      On LinkedIn, X or anywhere public, mentioning the course and linking to inslms.com. We give you a draft to edit.

    • A short write-up

      What you built, and which ideas from the course it uses.

  3. The project is reviewed

    A person reviews every submission: does it build on the course, does the video show it working, is the post live. You either get approved or get a note on what to change, and you can resubmit.

    Links are checked when you submit; the judgement is a human one.

  4. Your certificate is issued

    You get a certificate with your name, the course, the date and your score, and a short ID that anyone can check. It lives at its own page, for example:

    try.inslms.com/cert?id=INS-7K3F-Q9ZD

    It certifies that you completed the course with the stated score and an approved project. It is not a proctored exam.

Step one starts with any course.
