As of now, 9 of the 12 practice units allow for a demonstrate module and a micro-credential opportunity.
The micro-credential is comprised of 4 parts and requires review and scoring to pass. The first three parts of each practice module are about 25 minutes of work, the demonstrate portion requires some writing, reflection, and work examples or artifacts.
