TRAINING SIGNAL ACTIVE
// U-ROCK® CERTIFICATION · v1.0 · 2026-08-16

The same operating standards in every U-ROCK® market.

Certification is how the network proves — to itself, to advertisers, to the societies, to the town — that the person behind the console meets the standard. Six tracks, one procedure.

Every Certification Includes

THE PROCEDURE
  1. Required Academy modules — the track's courses, completed in order.
  2. Knowledge assessment — the track's 10-question assessment, pass at 8, completion code posted in Communications.
  3. Practical demonstration — the real-world proof listed on the track card, reviewed by HQ or your regional.
  4. Signed standards acknowledgment — you sign that you read the standard and operate by it; filed with HQ.
  5. Badge and completion record — the certification is recorded network-side and the badge appears on your operator/team record.
  6. Renewal or refresher — certifications carry a 24-month refresher: re-take the assessment, confirm the acknowledgment. Material changes to the standard trigger an early refresher, announced in the Changelog.
  7. Suspension and reinstatement — violations of the standard (rights breaches, dishonest claims, tenancy violations, ethics failures) suspend the badge pending HQ review. Reinstatement requires the refresher plus whatever the review orders. Suspension of a station's only certified operator triggers the compliance board, not a shutdown — nothing stops the broadcast except rights law.

THE PATH
Every track starts with Level 1. Pick your seat, run the track, post your codes in Communications, and schedule the practical with HQ. The standard is the same in every market — that is the point.
