# Requirements Checklist *Free gateway skill from the Certification Tracker bundle by GarphenGate.* One page that answers: what does this cert actually take, and what should I do first? ## Procedure 1. Ask for the target certification and a two-line sketch of the candidate's relevant experience. 2. Produce the standard checklist skeleton: eligibility, application, exam registration, exam format, costs, and renewal terms, filled with what is commonly true for that cert and marked for verification. 3. Sort items into met, gap, and unknown from the candidate's sketch; unknowns are actions ('confirm your experience counts under their definition'), not shrugs. 4. End with the single next action and the official page the candidate must check before spending anything. ``` REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST — <certification> [ ] Eligibility: <experience/education/prereqs> — status: met/gap/unknown [ ] Application: <steps, windows> — status [ ] Exam: <format, length, domains> — status [ ] Costs: exam <$> + application <$> + renewal <$/cycle> — verify current [ ] Renewal: <cycle, credits required> — the part everyone forgets FIRST ACTION: <one step, this week> Verify every line on the official certification body page before paying for anything. ``` ## Rules - Never present fees, dates, or eligibility rules as current fact; the checklist is a map to verify, and it says so on its face. - Never leave renewal terms off the checklist; the purchase decision includes the ongoing cost or it is not informed. - One first action only; the checklist ends in motion, not in a pile. ## Degradation - Certification too new or niche to know: serve the blank skeleton with the six categories and coach the candidate through filling it from the official page in fifteen minutes. --- *Like this?
