CERTIFICATIONS
Professional certification at HippoCampus is not a measure of content delivery or a course completion certificate. It is an assessment of professional practice: your ability to make sound decisions, manage attention, structure learning, and adapt in real time. Certification is a signal of alignment with an enforceable professional standard.
Practicing Teachers
Practicing Teachers** currently working, but who require a defined, shared professional framework for clarity and continuous improvement.
Non-Native Educators
Non-Native Educators** who understand that subject mastery must be matched by a rigorous, defensible teaching methodology.
Year-Abroad / Early Career
Early Career Educators** who require immediate, professional structure and standards to accelerate their practice beyond on-the-job improvisation.
What Is Assessed?
Certification evaluates professional alignment with the V3 Framework across four areas:
- Teaching philosophy and attention management
- Practical application of the V3 methodology
- Classroom decision-making under real-time constraints
-Professional judgment and ethical practice
Pathway to Alignment: Required Preparation
The framework's required methodology training is available exclusively through HippoCampus to ensure fidelity and professional alignment. This preparation is a prerequisite for success in the formal assessment of your professional practice.

Professional Practice Subscription
Certification requires active, ongoing professional practice. This subscription is a mechanism for professional upkeep, ensuring continued alignment with the framework, access to updates, and a structured system for professional growth. It is a responsibility, not an optional extra.
What This Is Not
This is not:
* A beginner qualification or a substitute for foundational training.
* A shortcut into the profession.
* A methodology designed for universal appeal.
The framework is opinionated, rewarding only professional responsibility and intentional, standards-based practice.
