Five credentials, one path, one standard
The American School of AI issues five credentials for people who deliver products and projects with AI. Three ways in, then two credentials that build on them. Every credential is earned the same way. You read the standard first (what you have to show, published before you pay). Next comes a live class with an authorized provider. Then a marker who did not teach you marks your own work, and you can fail. The credential lasts for life, and anyone can verify it.
Start where you are. Finish where the jobs are.
One path. One destination.

How a credential is earned
One process for all five credentials. You read the standard (what you have to show, published before you pay), train live, hand in your own work, and a marker who did not teach you marks it.
Read the Published Standard
Each credential publishes its standard and its marking guide (the guide the marker scores your work against) before you enroll. So before you pay, you know what it covers and how your work will be marked.
Train Live with an Authorized Provider
An Authorized Training Provider of the American School of AI teaches the class live online. It runs one day for a starting credential, two days for Certified Advanced AI Coach and three days for Certified AI Integration Manager.
Submit Your Own Work
Within 14 days of class you hand in work built on your own material. A marker who did not teach you reads it against the marking guide, without seeing your name or employer. It can come back marked Not yet. If it does, you fix it and hand it in again once, free.
Earn a Credential for Life
Pass, and you get your certificate and digital badge with a Certificate ID that can be verified. It is valid for life. There is no renewal and no renewal fee.

Who issues these credentials?
The American School of AI. It writes the standard for each credential and updates it over time. An Authorized Training Provider teaches the class to that standard.

How is a credential marked and verified?
Within 14 days of class you hand in work built on your own material. A marker who did not teach the class reads it against the marking guide, which you can read before you pay. The marker does not see your name or employer. You get your result inside 10 working days. There are three results: Not yet, Pass, Strong. The credential can be failed. If it is, you can fix your work and hand it in again once for free. Every certificate carries a Certificate ID you can check on the Verify a Credential page.
How long is a credential valid?
For life. There is no renewal fee, ever. The credential is issued with a Certificate ID and a digital badge, and it does not expire.
