+---
+
+Each course run through the Professional Linux Users Group (ProLUG) allows you to earn
+a certification upon completion.
+
+Certificates are awarded to those who complete the course within the timeframe that
+it is being run through the ProLUG Discord.
+
+- To see when courses are running, join the ProLUG Discord server and check the
+  Events section.
+
+If you aim to earn the certification for completing this course, you must follow the
+guidelines set forth in this document.
+
+There are four main components to earning the certification.
+
+1. [Worksheet Completion](#worksheet-completion)
+
+2. [Discussion Questions](#discussion-questions)
+
+3. [Lab Completion](#lab-completion)
+
+4. [Final Project](#final-project)
+
+## Worksheet Completion
+
+---
+
+Each unit has a corresponding worksheet.  
+On this worksheet are discussion questions, terms/definitions, **optional** "digging
+deeper" sections, and reflection questions.
+
+These worksheets must be filled out and kept until the end of the course.  
+Upon reaching the end, they are to be submitted to the instructor (Scott Champine).
+
+### Worksheet Submission Format
+
+---
+
+The format in which you submit these worksheets is up to you.
+
+Some students prefer to keep them in a GitHub repository, others prefer to just keep
+them as files on their machines and submit via email.
+
+## Discussion Questions
+
+---
+
+Each unit's worksheet contains multiple discussion questions.  
+Each discussion question has its own thread in the ProLUG Discord server, in the
+`#course-discussion-posts` forum channel.
+
+To qualify for certification, you must:
+
+- Post your answer to each discussion question in the correct thread.
+- Respond to another student's answer in the same thread.
+
+The goal of this is not to create busywork, but to spark discussions and see things
+from other points of view.
+
+## Lab Completion
+
+---
+
+Each unit has a lab that is to be completed.
+
+The labs, like the worksheets, should be also completed and saved until the end of
+the course.
+
+These labs should be submitted to the instructor along with the worksheets in the same format of your choice.
+
+## Final Project
+
+---
+
+Each ProLUG course has students complete a capstone project.
+
+This is a requirement for earning a ProLUG course certification.
+
+The project must meet the standards set forth in the Final Project Outline (or
+otherwise be approved by the instructor, Scott Champine).
