The CSM Certificate of High Performance is earned on completion of the CSM Course, can be verified by colleges and employers, and has an associated Credly digital badge.
In addition to certifying High Performance, the CSM Certificate is equivalent to a college math course, and is aligned with employability skills.
While every job needs different specific skills, all jobs need High Performance.
High Performers are capable, confident, and adaptable, with the skills, attitudes, and self-confidence to thrive in education, work and life. High Performance competencies are critical for everyone: from high school and college students, to nurses, to corporate managers.
The math certified by the CSM Certificate is the equivalent of a 3 semester hour college-level course in quantitative reasoning.
The American Council on Education CREDIT Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT) ® has evaluated the CSM Course and Certificate, and recommends that colleges accept the CSM Certificate for credit. Find the full recommendation here. SeeMore Impact Labs has articulation agreements with colleges representing over 800,000 students.
The CSM Certificate is aligned with the widely adopted Common Employability Skills framework, which details the skills that are needed to succeed in all jobs across industries and levels. While most workforce certificates relate to job-specific skills (e.g., an IT or welding certificate), the CSM Certificate indicates that a person has key general skills needed in every job.
"The CSM Course and CSM Certificate addresses a core set of the Common Employability Skills that is directly linked to high performance on the job. It focuses on individuals being their personal best: caring about what they do, pushing through failure, having high expectations for themselves and following through."
