• The system must display a message to the applicant/user if they select 'No' on meeting the experience requirement.
• The system should disable the 'Download Certificate' button if the experience requirement is unmet.
• The system should display a confirmation message to the user if they selected 'No' to verify that they have chosen the correct response to the experience requirement.
• The system should enable the 'Download Certificate' button if the experience requirement is met.
