An L1 (Level 1) certification is awarded by one of the major rocketry associations and it allows an individual to launch high-powered rockets. It's a crucial first step for anyone looking to pursue a career or hobby in rocketry, as it demonstrates proficiency in safety procedures and regulatory compliance. An L1 certification opens up opportunities for more advanced projects and certifications while giving you valuable hands-on experience! Check out our guide below to learn more about the process of getting L1 certified.
Tufts Rocketry strongly believes in the importance of giving back to the community and inspiring the next generation. As such, we have continued to expand our outreach program, and are in the process of developing educational materials to complement our outreach process.
