- To get a *certificate of excellence*: you need **to pass 100% of the assignments** before the end of September 2023.

When we say pass, **we mean that your model must be pushed to the Hub and get a result equal or above the minimal requirement**.

To check your progression and which unit you passed/not passed: https://huggingface.co/spaces/ThomasSimonini/Check-my-progress-Deep-RL-Course
