Georgia's Technical Skill Attainment Inventory is maintained by GaDOE and updated annually based on input from program area specialists and subject matter experts from industry, secondary, and postsecondary sectors. The inventory comprises three components: national industry certifications and credentials, national occupational assessments, and state licensures and state-developed assessments. Tosa certifications appear in the national industry certifications component.
Georgia's CTAE TSA program is a secondary program. EOPA eligibility is limited to high school students who have completed the three required sequential courses in the relevant CTAE pathway.
| Category | Georgia Eligibility |
|---|---|
| School Types | Georgia public high schools operating GaDOE-approved CTAE programs |
| Grade Levels | High school (Grades 9–12). |
| Pathway Completion Requirement | Students must be pathway completers — having successfully passed all three required sequential courses in the CTAE pathway. Only pathway completers are eligible to sit for the EOPA. |
| EOPA Timing | EOPAs are administered in November (first-semester completers) and April (second-semester completers), during the student's third-level pathway course. |
| Dual Enrollment | Georgia's Dual Enrollment program (grades 10–12) allows qualifying students to earn high school and college credit simultaneously. Dual enrollment students in aligned CTAE pathways may also be eligible for EOPA credentials. |
| Articulated Credit | The GaDOE–TCSG Articulated Credit Agreement Initiative allows students who complete specific CTAE courses and earn the pathway credential to receive college credit at Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) institutions, eliminating duplication between high school and technical college coursework. |
The three Tosa certifications below are confirmed on the GaDOE Technical Skill Attainment Inventory. Students must complete all three required pathway courses to be eligible for the End of Pathway Assessment (EOPA).

About the required level & score: Tosa certifications are scored on a 1–1,000 scale. Georgia applies Tosa's standard cut scores. The minimum required level listed above is the lowest passing threshold for the EOPA.
CTAE End of Pathway Assessments (EOPAs / Credentials of Value) are the primary mechanism for measuring Technical Skill Attainment at the Georgia secondary level. Results are submitted to GaDOE through Georgia Insights and feed directly into Perkins V Core Indicator 2S1 — the Credential of Value attainment rate for CTE concentrators — a required performance measure in Georgia's Perkins V State Plan, developed collaboratively by GaDOE's Office of CTAE and the Technical College System of Georgia.
| Reporting Element | Georgia Details |
|---|---|
| Data System | Georgia Insights (georgiainsights.gadoe.org) — GaDOE's statewide data platform. EOPA results are reported through the EOPA data collection module. |
| EOPA Application Process | Teachers initiate the EOPA process in Georgia Insights after student class sign-off. Assessment begins only after sign-off is completed in the system. |
| Assessment Windows | November (first-semester completers) and April (second-semester completers). |
| Who Reports | CTAE teachers and school-level CTAE coordinators, in coordination with the district CTAE director. |
| Perkins V Indicator | Results feed into Core Indicator 2S1 — Credential of Value attainment rate for CTE concentrators — in the Georgia Perkins V State Plan. |
| Articulated Credit | Through the GaDOE–TCSG Articulated Credit Agreement Initiative, students completing the pathway courses and earning the EOPA credential may receive college credit at TCSG institutions without duplicating coursework. |
EOPA reporting: EOPA Data Collection — Georgia Insights
Georgia CTAE programs are funded through a combination of Perkins V federal CTE funds and state-appropriated CTAE grants, administered by GaDOE's Office of CTAE. Perkins V is the primary federal mechanism, with Georgia's state plan developed collaboratively between GaDOE and TCSG.
| Funding Source | Georgia Details |
|---|---|
| EOPA Exam Cost | Cost per exam per student as listed in the GaDOE EOPA Funding Worksheet. |
| Perkins V (Primary Federal Funding) | Perkins V funds Georgia CTAE programs including EOPA assessment activities and industry certification efforts. Georgia's Perkins V State Plan was developed collaboratively by GaDOE and TCSG with broad stakeholder input. |
| State CTAE Grants | GaDOE awards annual state-appropriated CTAE grants through the Local Plan for Improving Career and Technical Education. Relevant grant types include the Industry Certification Grant, CTAE Extended-Year Grant, Capital Equipment Grant, and Career-Related Grants. |
| Local District Budget | District CTAE budgets and local program funds may be used to purchase certification exams and support implementation. |
