Everyone builds with AI now, so what carries weight is proof you can direct it and own what ships. This certification is that proof, scored by the people who build the tools you use, and verifiable the moment an employer checks. It holds up where it counts, in your rate, your title, and your next role.

The exam is proctored, timed, and hands-on. So before exam day, the platform gets you ready. You'll know what's coming, practice in unlimited trial runs, and track where you stand.
The prep guide
No mystery, no gotchas. It maps all six scored domains and what each one asks of you. You study what the exam actually tests, not someone's guess at it.
You write the working context and the constraints that actually steer an agent.
You turn a vague ticket into a working spec, then direct multi-step agent work without babysitting it.
You pick the approach and set the structure the build has to live inside.
You review agent-written changes before they reach production and catch what compiles but lies.
You sweep for injection, auth gaps, and leaked secrets at agent speed and stop them before they ship.
You find root causes in code you didn't write.
Real proctoring
From the ID check to your final submit, you're on camera with your screen shared. The session flags a second face, a second monitor, or a devtools window the moment it shows up. Strict on purpose, because the credential is only worth the exam behind it.
Unlimited trial exams
The trial exam is the exact environment the real exam runs in. Same interface, same kind of tasks, a live sandbox where you direct the agent. Run it as many times as it takes, so on exam day nothing is new but the score.
Your dashboard
Every trial attempt, your training, your scores, and where each domain stands, in one place. You always know what's left before exam day.
The credential
A verifiable Certificate of Competence in your name, signed by the examination board, with a scannable code anyone can check. Proof you can direct AI and own what it produces, not just use it.
