EPIC:

The purpose of this initiative is to obtain a recognizable industry certification to support my transition as a student into the job market. The certification exam is estimated to be between $300 – $500, however, with pre-qualification, the student may be granted an exam voucher. A typical exam covers a total of 4 subject domains with about 20 objectives per domain. The student has access to resources, including registering for a class that aligns to the certification, independent study, public resources, group studies, mentorship and academic coaching.
