## RS School Certificate
2+
3+
At students’ request, we do not issue certificates on a massive scale and set a threshold for each course.
4+
5+
Usually the passing score equals to 70% of the best result in the course. For example, the best student scores 1884 points, 0.70 \* 1884 ~ = 1318. Thus, the passing score is 1318
6+
7+
### Minimum requirements for obtaining a certificate
8+
9+
- Total passing score – 70% of the top score

## 🎯 Goals of the Qualifying Stage
2+
3+
The Qualifying Stage is designed for students who are motivated to build a career in IT and are interested in pathways that may lead to opportunities at **EPAM**. Its purpose is to confirm your technical foundation (Markdown, HTML/CSS, TypeScript/JavaScript/Git) and readiness for advanced training. Successful participants will move on to the **Short Track (\~3.5 months)**, which provides React or Angular practice, team project experience, and prepares you to be considered for recommendations to **EPAM and other companies**. More than **1000 RS School graduates have started their careers at EPAM**, and around **24% of RS School mentors are EPAM employees**.
4+
5+
## Learning Pathway
6+
7+
### 1. Qualifying Stage Path
8+
9+
- Start: **September 22, 2025**.
10+
- Duration: **8 weeks** (7 weeks of assignments, ~1 week for interview preparation, then interviews).
11+
- Content includes:
12+
13+
1. **Markdown**
14+
2. **HTML/CSS (layout)**
15+
3. **TypeScript/JavaScript/Git** (combined block)
16+
17+
- Language: **English only** (assignments, communication, and interviews).
18+
- Workload: **20+ hours per week**.
19+
- Communication happens in a **separate Discord server**: [Qualifying Stage Discord](https://discord.gg/q25GF4NvFN).
20+
- **Eligibility**: students must reside in Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Poland, Lithuania, or Turkey. At the moment, we do not automatically verify location, but interviews may require **in-person attendance**.
21+
- After successful completion, students continue into the **Short Track**.
22+
23+
### 2. Short Track (after Qualifying Stage)
24+
25+
- Duration: \~**3.5 months**.
26+
- Includes deeper **TypeScript**, introduction to **React or Angular**, and **team assignments**.
27+
- Students can choose the framework (React or Angular), except that **in Poland, Angular is the default option**.
28+
- By the end of **February–March 2026**, students will have RS School certificates and portfolio projects.
29+
- Our community helps graduates strengthen their portfolio and, in many cases, provides recommendations to **EPAM** and other companies (around **24% of RS School mentors are EPAM employees**).

# Submitting assignments in the RS App
2+
3+
All assignments must be submitted in the RS App **before the deadline**:
4+
5+
- Auto-testable tasks are submitted on the `Auto-Test` page. These tasks include: tests, algorithmic tasks, codewars tasks, and some tasks designed for automatic checking(for example CV-markdown)
6+
- In the case of a Cross-Check assignment, you must submit the required link on the Cross-check: Submit page before the deadline. After submitting the link, you can continue working on the assignment until the deadline. You can submit the link several times — the last one will be saved. Anyone who does not submit their work on time will receive a score of 0.
7+
8+
## Tests
9+
10+
- Tests for theoretical modules can be found in the `Auto-Test` tab in [RS App](https://app.rs.school/).
11+
- The test has a minimum passing score, which is specified in the description for each test (usually 70% of the maximum possible score).
12+
- You may take the test the number of times specified in the description. The last result will be counted.
13+
- Also (if specified), you can take the test more than once, but the test score will be reduced by half.
14+
- The test results will be displayed immediately. They will be added to `Score` after the statistics are updated (at 04:00 GMT+3).
15+
16+
#### Will it be possible to re-submit automatically checked tasks?
17+
18+
You may do so as many times as you wish, but before the deadline.
19+
20+
## Cross-check
21+
22+
A detailed description of the cross-check process [here](cross-check-flow.md)
23+
24+
## FAQ
25+
26+
### Is it acceptable to obtain solutions to tasks from the internet?
27+
28+
It is acceptable to take ideas from all possible sources, but not solutions.
29+
30+
### When can you submit a link for cross-checking?
31+
32+
We recommend submitting the link as early as possible. You can complete a small part of the assignment, submit the link, and then continue working on the assignment until the deadline.
