Registry open Standard v1.0 in force · next review July 2027
The four passports

Choose your passport, then climb the ladder.

The journey begins by choosing a passport type — the who. Tiers set the how rigorous. Content, rigour, price and renewal all follow from those two choices, over one shared Body of Knowledge.

The four passports

Earned by persona, then by tier

The cover tells you who was tested, and on what.

Four documents, one Standard. The persona decides what is assessed and what the holder may then do; the cover colour is how a registry entry is recognised at a glance.

Tiers & the ladder

From foundation to fellow

Each grade asks for harder proof, not more hours.

Rigour rises with the tier — accessible at the base to fund the standard, genuinely demanding at the top to protect its value. Grades are conferred by the Foundation and recorded in the registry; a licensee can assess, but never award.

TIER I
Foundation
Read the curriculum and attest · assessed on the core domains. Open, high-volume, no exam gate.
TIER II
Practitioner
Entrance exam against the Body of Knowledge · applied workflow evidence, independently scored.
TIER III
Expert / Fellow
Portfolio + proctored practical — real AI work, graded by assessors, peer-reviewed by the Council. Not a quiz.

Every tier expires. All Passports carry a validity window kept live by continuing registration — see how validity and renewal work on the Standard.
