    Credentials of Value / Technical Skill Attainment Inventory / End-of-Pathway Assessments (EOPAs)

    PCSD CTAE students completing a CTAE pathway have the opportunity to earn valuable credentials in the form of industry certifications/credentials, occupational assessment achievement, and/or state licensure.

    Georgia's EOPA process was derived in direct response to the Perkins IV Legislation, which requires states to implement a measurement to identify the technical skill attainment level of students participating in CTAE courses.  As a result, the CTAE pathways offered in the PCSD require students to take an EOPA at the completion of their third-level course of the pathway.


    The EOPA is a rigorous exam designed to recognize achievement above and beyond that of a standard high school diploma. It is an exam developed by industry professionals in the pathway career field(s) and provides industry certifications and/or credentials.

    • Many EOPAs provide an industry recognized credential or certification to students that successfully complete the EOPA.
    • Earning the EOPA associated certificate will benefit students in their pursuit of employment and/or post-secondary education. 
    • Pathway Assessment Scholar cords are available for purchase to those students who pass their End-of-Pathway. 

    Contact your high school for specific information about the EOPAs administered at that school.
