Current status
This is a guidance feature. Recommendations should stay careful and practical. The site should not imply that completing a short course guarantees a job or qualifies someone for regulated work.
Important privacy note
Future saved certification roadmaps should be controlled by the user inside their profile. Users should be able to update completed training, remove items, or choose not to save a roadmap.
Any future feature that stores resumes, profile information, saved recommendations, generated documents, or private career data will be placed behind a user profile and controlled at the user's discretion. Users should be able to decide what they save, edit, delete, or share. Public or shareable information should never be created without clear user action and consent.
