Look for the Star ★

Classes with a star include an optional Northstar assessment. The Northstar Digital Literacy Project defines basic skills needed to perform tasks on computers and online. Learn more.

When students pass a proctored assessment at an approved site, they can obtain a Northstar Digital Literacy Certificate. This can be used to demonstrate proficiency or as a credential for employment. Customers are encouraged to bring earbuds or headphones to hear audio from the assessment. Log in to the CCPL assessment.
