When ready, families can choose Certiport ITS Python on-site at GrowWise Dublin. The PCEP/OpenEDG pathway is in process and is not presented as approved or available through GrowWise yet.
The pathway is structured for serious CS preparation: syntax confidence, debugging habits, and mock exams — not random tutorial hopping.
