Journeyman & Master Badges

After receiving initial lessons in various areas, students choose those in which they would like to deepen their understanding & hone their skills by pursuing first a Journeyman & then a Master Badge.

Badge requirements require commitment & hard work, & the completion of a badge is equivalent to passing a series of exams & demonstrating a level of mastery.
