The WMA Mastery Score

A score from 0 to 100 for each program, built from five parts:

  • Completion 30
  • Assessments 25
  • Assignments 20
  • Projects 10
  • Attendance 15

Parts your plan doesn't include never count against you, and the score shows once 2 parts have data.

One certificate per program

Each program issues one certificate with one ID. It shows the highest credential you have earned, reprints under the same ID when you reach a higher one, and is never lowered. Every certificate carries an ID that anyone can verify online.
