How recorded assessment works
Final exams include a recorded demonstration. You upload a recording of your screen and voice. AI services turn your speech into text and help rate it against the course rubric, and a Verten assessor reviews on request or by sample. We do not use facial recognition. Verten staff who run assessments can view it, and each view is logged. Recordings may be stored or processed outside Canada. We delete them 12 months after your result (6 months if you are under 18). You can withdraw consent at any time, and you can ask for an alternative assessment without giving a reason. Learners under 18 need a parent or guardian to consent.

About this course
Founders, operators, and serious career changers who can already read and build the three statements and now need to fund, structure, value, and eventually exit or pass on a venture.
On the job, the graduate evaluates funding options, values a venture, designs a defensible holding and operating structure with professional input, and produces a financed venture plan that a lender, investor, or advisor can review.
Important: This course is educational only. It is not financial, investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Holding structures, rollovers, estate plans, and capital gains planning must be designed and implemented with a licensed accountant and lawyer. Thresholds, rates, and exemption amounts change: always check the official source on the date of use.
