Certification safeguards

A credential backed by your own performance.

The official exam combines identity verification with assessment and integrity checks. These safeguards help connect the credential to the person who completed the exam.

The usual certification process

From your account to a confirmed outcome.

  1. Sign in and verify your identity

    Access the exam through your account and complete the required identity verification before starting. Purchasing access does not begin the exam.

  2. Read the conditions and complete the work

    Follow the instructions and time limit shown for your exam. Your submitted responses provide the evidence for assessment, alongside the required integrity checks.

  3. Your work and required checks are assessed

    Responses are assessed against each exercise's criteria. The result stays pending while required assessment, integrity checks, or further review remain unresolved.

  4. See the confirmed result in your account

    A confirmed pass can lead to a credential once issuance requirements are met. Other outcomes do not issue a credential; purchasing the exam does not guarantee a pass.

When something needs checking

Careful review, not automatic conclusions.

An issue may need to be reviewed before a final result is available. A pending result is not a pass or a fail.

Interruptions are considered in context

An interruption or integrity alert does not decide the outcome on its own. The relevant information is reviewed under the exam's rules.

Access only for authorized review

When a case requires review, access to the information needed for that decision is limited to the authorized person assigned to it.

An outcome after the checks

Your account shows whether the result is still pending or has been confirmed. If the required checks cannot be cleared, the result may be withheld or invalidated and no credential is issued.

An ACC-issued certification

“Official” refers to the certification result issued by AI Capability Certification (ACC). It does not establish accreditation or endorsement by an external institution.

Your responses stay private

Your answers and submitted files are not published with your credential. Access to them is restricted to the assessment and authorized handling of your exam.
