This project offers a free Markdown Essentials certification to demonstrate proficiency in Markdown.
This year, my children are using the Discovery K12 curriculum, and as part of it, they will be required to take many notes. I thought it would be great if they used Markdown as a way to help them stay organized and write amazing notes. However, I realized that most options for learning Markdown did not allow them to earn a certification without payment. To solve this, I created this free certification system so they—and anyone else—could demonstrate their Markdown proficiency and receive a certificate that they could print.
-
Learn Markdown: There are many free online tutorials available, such as:
Many paid platforms, like Udemy and Coursera, also offer free versions of their Markdown courses, though certification requires payment.
-
Take the Quiz: After learning Markdown, take the quiz to test your knowledge of essential concepts. To pass learners must receive 100% answers correct.
-
Get the Certificate: Upon passing, you’ll receive a free certificate that you can print or download. The certificate includes metadata and a unique certficate number for validation.
This system allows anyone to be issued a free Markdown certification without relying on third-party paid services.
I designed this for my children's note-taking needs this year, but it's available for anyone who wants to use it. You can learn, take the quiz, and showcase your certificate anywhere, all for free!
This project is customizable, allowing you to modify quiz questions, change the passing score, and adjust the certificate design. Below are detailed instructions for customizing the project to suit your needs. Instructions To Follow
