Pineapple Academy Certification

Students who successfully complete all the courses and competency checks in a Learning Series are eligible to receive an authenticated certificate from the Pineapple Academy. This will be requested for the student by their Proctor.

All completed certifications are both transferable to future employers utilizing the Pineapple Academy and stored in the event it is lost or damaged.
