# GTM Skill Tree

> Your map through the Bitscale GTM Academy. See every track, module, and certification in one place.

## How It Works

The GTM Skill Tree has three tiers. You move through them in order —
Foundation unlocks the specialist branches, and completing two specialist
branches unlocks the GTM Architect master certification.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tier 0: GTM Foundation (Required for everyone)">
    **5 modules · \~2 hours · Earns: Foundation Badge**

    Covers why GTM automation matters, how to define a tight ICP, how to create
    your first Bitscale grid, how to interpret enrichment data, and the core
    workflow model that underpins everything else in the platform.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Tier 1: Specialist Tracks (Choose your path)">
    **7–8 modules per track · \~5–6 hours · Earns: Specialist Certificate**

    Pick the track that matches your role and goals. You can complete more
    than one — each earns its own certificate and counts toward GTM Architect.
