Once you complete a course, a live Zoom class or an on-campus class, you can write a short story about what you learned and what changed for you. The NSDP team reads every story; the approved ones are shown on the NSDP website's home page and its success stories page.
What counts as completed
- A course, class or programme you hold a certificate for.
- A self-paced course you finished (100% progress or marked completed).
- A live Zoom or on-campus class seat marked completed.
- Until then the page says Finish a course first and points you back to your learning.
