Who it is for

You are today Holders of the Advanced AI Facilitator credential
After the class Run AI adoption for a whole organization, and leave with proof you can show a hiring manager.
Prerequisite A pass in Certified Advanced AI Facilitator (AI-AAF) admits you.

What you will do

  • Score AI use cases and write the case for the ones you would kill
  • Make the feasibility and data-readiness calls
  • Build the guardrail intake pack a legal team will ask for
  • Design and run a champion network
  • Build an adoption measurement panel that separates activity from real impact
  • Write and present the executive business case

The three days, module by module

Live and instructor-led. You spend most of the time on your own material, because that is what the assessment marks.

  1. 1
    The job, and the trap inside the title Triage ten real job postings that carry the same title into apply, do not apply, and ask first, and name the signal that decided each call. 60 min
  2. 2
    Use case intake, triage and scoring, and the roadmap page Build an intake form with named fields and a weighted scoring model, score six candidate use cases with it, and write the rationale for the three you would kill. 150 min
  3. 3
    Feasibility and data readiness Write the questions a go or no-go call on one use case needs, each with a named evidence class and a named person who holds the answer, plus a written go/no-go condition. 120 min
  4. 4
    Evaluation at organizational scale Build a 20-case evaluation set with ground truth for one task and run a baseline against it on Day 1. 180 min
  5. 5
    Guardrails as concrete controls Produce the six-section guardrail intake pack a legal team will ask for on one use case: the data boundary, prompt and output logging, access and least privilege for agents, human checkpoints, the kill switch, and the vendor mapped to a named framework. 150 min
  6. 6
    Champion network and enablement design Design a champion network for one organization: how champions are selected, what they may decide without asking, how often they meet, how the network itself is measured, and the condition under which you would stop running it. 150 min
  7. 7
    Adoption measurement, instrumented Build a two-track instrument panel, adoption on one track and business impact on the other, where every metric carries a named source system, an owner, a cadence and a baseline. 120 min
  8. 8
    The executive business case Map the five people your case must survive, what each one loses if it is funded, and the one sentence that answers that loss. 120 min
  9. 9
    The 90-day plan, the pilot card and the portfolio Assemble the 90-day adoption plan in the room from what you built in Modules 2 to 8: named owners, a pilot card in window 2 whose stop number is the day-60 gate, dated stop conditions, the routed guardrail dependencies, an honest resourcing block with the sponsor named, and the roadmap page. 120 min

What you submit

You submit three pieces, each in the same six-section pack: cover block, prompt set, raw output, final version, change log, boundary note. Piece A is the 90-day adoption plan for your own organization, with the enablement row, the window 2 pilot card and the roadmap page. It is marked on whether someone who was not in the room could run it. Piece B is the evaluation set with ground truth and a degradation check, marked on whether it would catch a real quality drop. The assessor also takes three items from your set, writes three degraded outputs (one confidently wrong, one right but missing a required element, one plausible and unverifiable), applies your own scoring instrument exactly as written, and returns the piece at Not yet if two or more get through. Piece C is the executive business case, delivered live to the class and recorded, with the written case, the one-page ask and the one-page stakeholder map. It is marked from the recording on whether a person who controls budget would fund it. Twelve descriptors in all, four per piece. The cover block says whether the work is built on your own material or on the supplied practice organization, and both are marked identically. The assessor never sees your name or your employer. Submissions are due 14 days after the last day of class and come back inside 10 working days. Some things land at Not yet automatically, and they are published here alongside the rubric: an evaluation set in which every case passes at baseline, a business case with a single point number and no range, any assertion about what a legal, security or compliance function would accept, and an unedited AI draft submitted as your own work. Unsanitized material (employer names, customer names, personal data, internal system names) and a missing pack section are inadmissible: the piece is returned unmarked, and that does not use up your free resubmission. An appeal is reviewed by a second assessor inside 10 working days.

How it is marked

Not yet Pass Strong
Piece A: the 90-day adoption plan

Marked on whether it could actually be run by someone who was not in the room. Four descriptors. Runnability by a stranger: every action names a role that owns it and a date or a week, the first two weeks are specified action by action, and every dependency on a decision names who makes it and by when. Champion network design: how champions are selected and by whom, a written remit, a cadence, at least two things a champion may decide alone, how the network itself is measured, and the three-touch enablement plan with a changed-behavior measure that is not completion. Sequencing and stop conditions: the order is defended, with a dated checkpoint and at least one stop condition stated as a threshold; every routed guardrail item appears as a dated dependency with a recipient and a consequence if late, and the day-60 checkpoint is the pilot gate with its exit number and stop number. Resourcing honesty: time from named roles in hours or days per week, money and what it buys, tooling and access, and one thing that will not happen because these people are doing this instead. Strong adds a handover list, what a champion gets in return, a stated condition for stopping the program with the roadmap page for what follows day 90, or the resource most likely to be refused and the fallback.

Piece B: the evaluation set

Marked on whether it would catch a real quality drop. Four descriptors. Ground truth: at least 20 items, each with the input, the expected output and where it came from, at least five checked by a second person, with disagreements recorded. Coverage: the set includes and labels at least three kinds of hard case (ambiguous, incomplete, a case where refusing or asking is the right answer, a rare and expensive edge case, a case that looks common and is not) and says how items were chosen. Scoring instrument: a written scheme with named criteria and defined levels, applied by a second person to at least five items with the agreement recorded, and a stated threshold. Degradation check: how often it runs, how many items are re-run, the threshold, the owner, the first three actions when it is crossed, and what triggers an unscheduled run. A set in which every case passes at baseline is Not yet on Coverage. A set that lets two or more of the assessor's three degraded outputs through is Not yet. Strong adds a stated blind spot, a case drawn from something that went wrong, the change made after the second scorer disagreed, or a way to tell a model drop from an input drop.

Piece C: the executive business case, presented

Marked from the recording on whether a person who controls budget would fund it. Four descriptors. The ask: an amount, the decision, who makes it and the date it is needed by, stated inside the first two minutes and repeated at the end, with the same numbers in the slides, the spoken version and the one-page ask; the stakeholder map names the five roles the case must survive, what each loses if it is funded, and one sentence for each. The evidence chain: every number traces to a stated source, assumptions are labeled, at least one number is given as a range with the reason, and any saving is net of review and rework. Risk and the no-go: at least three risks specific to the proposal, each with a trigger, an owner and a response, one condition under which you would recommend not funding it, and the cost of doing nothing stated in the same terms. Delivery under challenge: every question gets an answer, an honest statement of what you do not know and how you would find out, or a stated reason to defer, and every number in an answer matches your materials. Strong adds what a partial yes buys, what would have to be true for the central number to be wrong, the risk the room would underestimate, or a position changed under questioning with the reason given.

Issuance

You attend the three-day live online class. Inside 14 days of the last day you submit three pieces built on your own material: the 90-day adoption plan, the evaluation set, and the business case you delivered to the class, with its recording, written case, one-page ask and stakeholder map. A person who did not teach your class reads them against the rubric published on this page. Each piece is banded Not yet, Pass or Strong on four descriptors, and all three pieces must pass. The credential can be failed. If a piece comes back Not yet, the descriptor is named and the reason is written, and you get one free resubmission inside 14 days of the mark.

Issued by the American School of AI. Delivered by our authorized training providers. The credential carries a printed Certificate ID and a digital badge.

Anyone can confirm it on the Verify a Credential page by entering the Certificate ID printed on the certificate. The credential is for life, with no renewal fee.
FAQ

Questions, answered

How the Certified AI Integration Manager credential works.

Contact Us
Who is this credential for?

People who have passed Advanced AI Facilitator and want to run AI adoption for a whole organization. It is built for people who hold a PMP, a CSM or a SAFe® credential and work today as a project manager, delivery manager, program or portfolio manager, Scrum Master, agile coach or Product Owner.

Do I need a PMP, CSM or SAFe® credential to enroll?

No. A pass in Advanced AI Facilitator (Certified Advanced AI Facilitator) is the only gate.

Who issues the credential, and who teaches the class?

The American School of AI develops the standard, has your work independently assessed and issues the credential with a printed Certificate ID. It does not run classes.

How is it assessed?

Three pieces, all built on your own material: the 90-day adoption plan, the evaluation set, and the executive business case you deliver to the class on Day 3, which is recorded. A person who did not teach your class marks them against the rubric published on this page and never sees your name or your employer.

What happens if I do not pass?

Your submission is due 14 days after the last day of class and comes back marked inside 10 working days. If a piece lands at Not yet, the assessor names the descriptor and writes the reason, and you get one free resubmission inside 14 days of the mark.
