Certifications: Difference between revisions

{{Ambox|text=For a list of all currently written certifications, see [[:Category:Arma certifications|the relevant category]]. For detailed information on certifications, prerequisites, which individuals have what certifications, and so on, visit [https://enduranet.edcgaming.org '''EnduraNet'''].}}A '''certification''' is a written out explanation on how to perform a specific role, skill, or group of skills in Arma 3. They can be created by any member and are reviewed by EDC leadership before being approved and made official. All certifications are accompanied by a checklist {{Emdash}} in the form of a Google Sheet with a standard format {{Emdash}} which serves as a list of actions that, if observed as being satisfactorily performed, is indicative that the individual has learned the skill or skills the certification aims to teach.

The primary purpose is to give in-depth information on how to perform a specific role in a squad, such as a medic, and then incentivize learning the information by giving those with a certification on a role priority to play that role during non-casual operations. This is achieved through sign-up sheets where only a person with the relevant certification being allowed to sign-up ahead of time for said role. That said, a certification is not designed to gatekeep the role ''entirely''. Sign-up sheets as a general rule do not allow pre-selecting ''every slot of a given role'', that way it is possible for a non-certified person to get it on a first-come-first-serve basis on the day of the operation. Still, it ''is'' demonstrably harder to get to play a certified role without the certification than without it.
