Frequently asked questions
Find answers about the Quick Test, the official exam, and using this website.
Quick Test
A short test to estimate your level, separate from the official exam.
Do I need to sign up or buy anything to take the Quick Test?
No. It is free, and you can take it without creating an account.
What is the Quick Test like, and how much time do I have?
Answer the questions or tasks in the published test. Multiple-choice questions ask you to select an answer; other formats depend on the available version. Check the question count and time limit on the test page before starting. The timer starts when you begin and does not pause if you leave the page.
What does my Quick Test result mean?
Your score summarises your performance on a scale from 0 to 100; it is not the percentage of questions answered correctly. Your estimated level is a descriptive category based on that score. Your estimated percentile places it within the test's reference, not a worldwide ranking. These figures offer guidance: they are not an official exam result and do not issue a credential.
Official exam
An assessment with identity verification. If you pass, you can earn a credential to share.
What am I buying to take the official exam?
Your purchase includes one exam attempt for one person. You'll see the final amount before paying. The credit does not expire; if you do not start within the initial seven days, we can reactivate access without another purchase.
Do I need an account to buy the exam?
Yes. The sign-in screen shows the available options to access or create your account. If you already have an account, use your usual sign-in method. You will see the final total before paying.
What does “official exam” mean on this site?
It is AI Capability Certification’s identity-verified certification exam with a confirmed result, distinct from the indicative Quick Test. The credential records the level demonstrated in that exam. “Official” does not itself mean accreditation by an external body.
What does the official exam involve?
You'll work through situations that test four capabilities: defining a task and adapting its context, applying AI, evaluating its results, and using it responsibly. The exam is designed to include questions and practical exercises.
How can I prepare for the official exam?
Practise defining clear tasks, applying AI, critically reviewing its output, and handling risks responsibly. For the exam, use a reliable internet connection, keep the exam page in focus, and follow each exercise’s instructions for materials and tools. The Quick Test can give you an initial indication of your level; it is not a preparation course.
How much time should I set aside for the official exam?
As a guide, set aside 60 to 90 minutes to take the exam. This is a planning estimate; the exact time depends on the exam version and is shown when you begin.
What do I need to take the official exam?
First, complete the purchase from your account or use an exam credit you already have available. Before starting, enter your full legal name for the certificate and complete the guided identity check through Stripe Identity. The verification flow tells you which document or capture steps are required.
Identity and exam safeguardsHow is my official exam result determined?
Your work is assessed against defined criteria. The official result is confirmed once the required checks are complete.
How your result is determinedWhen can I view my exam result?
You can view it in your account once it is confirmed. We aim to email you within 72 hours of submitting the final part, with your result or an update if it is still pending. The final result can take longer if processing or review has not finished.
What do I get if I pass the official exam?
Once your pass is confirmed and the issuance requirements are met, you receive a downloadable certificate and a verifiable credential. Its validity is 365 days from issuance, unless revoked. The link lets others check your recorded name, certification, level, dates, and the credential's current status.

If your confirmed result is a fail, you can view your score, level, and breakdown across the four assessed areas in your account. No credential or certificate is issued. To retake the exam, you need another credit.
Can I certify again when my credential expires?
Yes. You can access recertification in the final 30 days of your credential's validity or after it expires, at the current standard price.
How can someone verify my credential?
Share your verification link. Anyone who opens it can see the name and certification recorded at issuance, the level, issue and expiry dates, and its current status. Your score and responses stay private.
What someone receiving your link can checkWhere can I check a refund or report a problem?
Your account's Billing page shows the available refund options. If you see “Report a problem” during purchase or the exam, you can submit the issue there and follow the case in Support.

How do I recover access or accept an invitation?
Open My account in the site menu. Use the same sign-in method as before: for an email-and-password account, choose Forgot your password?; for a provider account, use the same provider and account. For an invitation, use its link and the invited email address. If the link is missing or expired, ask the person who invited you to check or renew it.
