JET Level 1
The first available course in the JET Core Curriculum pathway.
JET Level 1 is the starting point for the JET Core Curriculum. It establishes shared language and foundational understanding before learners move into more applied or specialized training.
It is designed as the common foundation for the JET Core Curriculum before learners move into deeper practitioner, role-specific, or jurisdiction-specific training.
JET Level 1 helps learners build practical, accurate, and bounded understanding before engaging with certification, standards, oversight, public-facing election technology questions, or jurisdiction-specific training.
