How to obtain a certificate on The Construct

Knowledgebase

Hello ROS Developers!

Thank you for using our platform. We hope you enjoy it.

This post outlines the current options available for getting a certificate from the Academy. We will update this post as options are added and/or removed.

Option 1: Take an instructor-led training:

Option 2: Complete a certificate-awarding course, its assessments, and a live presentation.

  • Certificate-awarding courses have a certificate badge, as shown in the image below:

  • Click on the certificate badge to learn more about the requirements for the specific course. This will take you to the course details page, where you can view a list of the course assessments and your scores. Please do not keep this step, so that you know what is required from the outset. If unsure, please get in touch.
    • Click the Show my Scores! button to see the requirements.
    • The course assessments will comprise zero or more quizzes and a Real Robot Project.
    • Generally, you need to pass all quizzes (if any) and a live presentation of the Real Robot Project to demonstrate the knowledge you have acquired.
      • Quizzes are automatically graded.
      • Real Robot Projects are graded during the live presentation.
      • During a live presentation, you will connect remotely to one of our real robots. You do not need a personal robot for this.
      • The live presentation is a live stream. We use YouTube at the moment. The audience would typically be one or more members of The Construct, and as many of your family and friends as you invite.
    • Details of the Real Robot Project and its live presentation are given within the course notebooks (which you will see as you take the course).
  • See the list of all courses.

Would separate certificates be provided for the individual courses included in that learning path? Because at the moment it just reflects a certificate shall be provided at the completion of ROS basics in 5 days only.

We are progressively adding certificates to other courses, so we might have for those courses soon, but I can’t say which ones and when.

Please note that not offering certificates for a learning path does not stop you from completing the courses on the path. Knowledge first, certificate is an icing on the cake :wink:.

If we’ve already finished a course (e.g. navigation) and passed the quiz, can we just do the presentation part to earn the certificate?

Hi Keith,

Yes, if you already completed the course, you can just do the presentation to do earn the certificate (provided the course offers a certificate as indicated by the certificate badge). You can email info@theconstructsim.com to set up the date and time once you are ready.

Yes you can but you need to present the real robot project. That is the presentation about, how you solved the real robot project. You must show real during the presentation and also answer the questions about it made by the audience.
