Writing case studies as part of how you present your portfolio? These can be part of your Certification Application.

As part of your Certification Application, you submit 6 Case Studies for the 6 projects that you'll present in your Portfolio Presentation. Answering the questions in the Application can help you to refine your existing Case Studies or help you develop new ones which you can use to present your work in a variety of other formats.
