Certification

Certification is earned by one classroom-ready resource, built and verified independently — scored against a 100-point rubric. This page has everything: the assignment, the rubric, the submission checklist and a readiness test.

Passing standard

You are certified when all of these are met:

Overall score of at least 70 / 100
At least 8 / 15 in verification and responsible use — an unverified artifact cannot pass, however attractive
A usable classroom artifact submitted
Reflection or presentation completed
Evidence of individual work

Score	Result
85–100	Certified with Distinction
70–84	Certified
55–69	Revision Required — one resubmission allowed
Below 55	Participation Only

The 100-point rubric

E. Verification & responsible use	15	Claims checked; citations reviewed; age-appropriateness assessed; language reviewed; no unnecessary sensitive data

How to submit Your trainer will announce the submission channel for your batch (form, email or WhatsApp). Screenshots are safer than share links — links require sign-in and correct sharing settings. One resubmission is allowed after feedback.

Acceptable main artifacts

Lesson plan · worksheet · quiz · question bank · flashcards · revision guide · concept explanation · audio learning resource · Video Overview · infographic · slide deck · story-based activity · bilingual resource · differentiated learning activity. You need exactly one, done well.

Readiness test

Fifteen questions across all eight modules. Pass mark: 11 of 15, including at least 3 of the 4 verification questions — the same philosophy as the real rubric. This test is practice for you; it is not the certification itself.

Reflection prompts

What did you create, and who is it for?
How will it be used in your classroom?
What did NotebookLM do well? What was incomplete, incorrect or unsuitable?
What did you change, and how did you verify the result?
What would you do differently next time?

The promise on your certificate

"Your certificate will not show that you watched a NotebookLM demonstration. It will show that you built, reviewed and explained a classroom resource independently."
