One Body of Knowledge, owned centrally and versioned in public — authored and reviewed by an independent Consortium of academics and practitioners, never by a licensee.
Earned by persona and tier against a published exam — and valid for a fixed term, because a claim about AI ability decays if it is never re-tested.
Every Passport is publicly checkable by code. Status is published as it stands — active or expired — with no login and no fee to the person checking.
A versioned framework spanning the practical, ethical and organisational competencies of working with AI. The v1 structure below covers the Individual and Company personas.
How modern AI systems work at a working level — models, capabilities and limits — without requiring a technical background.
Prompting, evaluation of outputs, tool selection and integrating AI into everyday professional tasks.
Detecting error and hallucination, checking sources, and knowing when not to rely on a model.
Responsible use, fairness, harm avoidance, and the human accountability that stays with the operator.
Handling sensitive data with AI, confidentiality, and the security posture organisations must hold.
Policy, disclosure, and the organisational competencies assessed for the Company persona.
Standard v1.0 is in force. The six domains shown here are the current published structure; the full versioned syllabus, learning outcomes and assessment criteria are being finalised for public release. External accreditation is pursued separately as a formal milestone — until it is recorded in the registry, nothing on this page constitutes an externally accredited qualification.
Publication & review cycleDoctors do not stay qualified by keeping a diploma; they stay registered. AI moves faster than medicine, so a Passport carries a 24-month validity satisfied by continuing registration. An out-of-date AI credential is worthless — publishing expiry is honesty, not a paywall.
Pass the exam for your persona and tier at a licensed centre or in the app.
Your record enters the public registry with an issue date and a validity date.
Continuing registration keeps you on the register and delivers each cycle's update.
Re-assess against the current Standard. Miss it and the registry says expired, publicly.
The updated Body of Knowledge, any tier-specific reassessment, and a refreshed validity window recorded against the holder's code. Holders are always registered against a named version.
A lapsed Passport reads as expired in the public lookup — never as a live credential. It can be reinstated by re-registering against the current standard.
