Studying on the Grass

How it Works

Not every young person learns the same way — and not every pathway needs to be through TAFE or university. CertSmart Pathways was built for students in Years 10–12 and young adults exploring their next step. We give you practical, short, and achievable skills that boost confidence, open doors, and make your CV stand out — without years of formal study.

Step 1 – Become a Member (Free & Instant)

 

Sign up for free and become an online member in seconds. This gives you immediate access to:

  • All our free courses to try the platform risk-free

  • Group chats to connect with other learners, share tips, and ask questions

  • Blog & resources for career advice, CV templates, interview prep, and more

  • A personal dashboard to track progress and save your favourite courses

  • No payment required to start — just your email and a quick profile setup.

Step 2 – Choose & Start a Course

 

Browse our growing library of micro-courses (free and $49 paid). Each is designed for busy young people:

  • 3 focused modules with bite-sized lessons

  • Real-world skills you can use straight away

  • Self-paced — complete in a few days or at your own speed

Step 3 – Learn & Pass the Quizzes

 

Work through the modules at your own pace. At the end of each module:

  • Complete a short multiple-choice quiz

  • Achieve 70% or higher to pass and unlock the next module

This simple check ensures you’ve grasped the key concepts — no complicated exams, just practical knowledge confirmation.

Step 4 – Earn Your Micro-Credential

  • A personalised Certificate of Completion (downloadable PDF)
