Level progression
Earn your next level by meeting the applicable requirements.
- Seven clear levels
- Evidence-based requirements
- No payment to upgrade your status
- Consistent review standards
Moving through the seven-level framework is free. When you need help resolving a requirement, specialist services are scoped and priced separately.
Earn your next level by meeting the applicable requirements.
Practical assistance with the gaps in your roadmap.
Service fees, third-party filing costs and any optional courses are separate from level progression. A service purchase does not guarantee verification, a level, or funding.
A level is earned when all applicable mandatory requirements for that level and the preceding levels are verified and current. A score or a service purchase cannot award a level.
Progression through the framework is free. You can choose paid specialist support to resolve a gap, but buying a service never replaces the verification requirements.
Requirements must remain current. Expired or revoked evidence can affect your level and any associated verification status until the requirement is reviewed again.
