- Successfully completing classroom or equivalent work (e.g., supervised independent study, career- related learning experiences, project based learning) that meets Common Curriculum Goals and academic content standards required by Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 581-022-1210;
- Successfully completing classroom or equivalent work, in class or out of class, where hours of instruction may vary;
- Successfully passing an appropriate exam;
