— Evidence, not assertion —
Prove your AI skills in a way
a stranger can check
Everyone in AI hiring is drowning in self-declared expertise. The useful move is not another claim about yourself, it is a credential somebody else can independently confirm.
— Why it holds up —
Three reasons the grade means
something outside
Assessed against a published standard
Your grade is awarded against the Institute of AI competency framework, which is published in full. An employer can read the standard you were measured against before they decide what your grade is worth to them.
Awarded independently
No vendor affiliations, nothing resold, no pay-to-play. The Institute of AI has no commercial reason to award a grade your evidence does not support, which is what makes the grade worth checking.
Verifiable by anyone, without asking you
Every credential has a public verification page. A recruiter can confirm your grade and that it is still current without contacting you, your referees or a previous employer.

— Common questions —
Verification, in brief
How does an employer actually check my credential?+
They open your public verification page. It confirms the grade you hold and that your accreditation is current. There is no login, no request to you, and nothing for them to take on trust.
Is this better than a vendor certification?+
It answers a different question. A vendor certificate proves you can use a particular platform. Accreditation from the Institute of AI proves you can practise: framing, delivery, evaluation and responsible operation. Many practitioners hold both.
What if I change jobs?+
The credential is yours, not your employer’s. It stays with you for the full term of your accreditation, kept current by your CPD.
Can I show it before I am accredited?+
You can join the Institute of AI as a Member for free straight away, which gives you a profile at the professional body and full access to Learn AI. The verifiable grade follows once you sit the assessment.
