How do you tell a credible AI certification from a certificate of attendance?
A credential means more when it is earned against a standard. Check for these features.
- An exam taken under controlled conditions, with a published pass mark
- Assessed work, ideally on real tasks and reviewed by a person
- Verification by link, so anyone can confirm it
- A standard format such as Open Badge 2.0
- A clear statement of what the holder can do, not just hours attended

The five Applied AI courses each run 16 hours over 28 days: diagnostic, eight SCORM modules, mock exam, a graded portfolio of eight work products on your own work, capstone and a proctored exam (at least 70% overall, 60% per domain). AI/ML Foundations (Level 1) runs 12 hours over 28 days: diagnostic, six modules, two mock exams and a 60-question exam taken under exam conditions.
