Why teams certify AI skills
Most teams already use AI, often in different ways and with very different levels of care. One person checks every number, another pastes client files into a personal account. Self-reported confidence does not show which is which.
A common exam gives everyone the same standard to aim for and the same vocabulary for talking about AI at work. It also gives the team lead a concrete view of where habits are strong and where the company policy, training or tooling needs attention.
Matching levels to roles
You do not need to put everyone on the same level. A simple split by role usually works.
- Foundation ($29) for anyone who uses AI tools for writing, summaries or research, including sales, HR, support and administrative roles.
- Practitioner ($59) for analysts, marketers, operations and finance staff who rely on AI every day for deliverables that others use.
- Expert ($99) for the people who design AI workflows, automations or agents for the team or for clients.
How a group rollout works
For 5 or more people, email support@verilevel.com with the number of people and the levels you need, and we will reply with group pricing and next steps. Below that size, people can simply buy their own level online.
Each person receives their own exam link by email. No accounts are needed. Every exam is timed, online and unproctored, and each person gets four attempts, the first plus three retakes, within 12 months. People who score 70% or more receive a certificate PDF by email, valid for 24 months, with a public verification page.
- Share your company AI policy before the exam, since several questions ask about approved tools and data.
- Give people a date window rather than a single day, so nobody has to rush.
- Agree in advance how people will share results, for example by sending the verification link.
- Plan a short follow-up session on the topics people found hardest.
Setting fair expectations
The exam is unproctored and has no camera. That makes it easy to roll out and respectful of privacy, but it also means it works best as a development and baseline tool, not as the only gate in a high-stakes decision such as hiring, promotion or pay. If you plan to use any test in employment decisions, talk to HR and legal counsel first.
VeriLevel is an independent, private certification. It is not accredited and not a government credential, and we do not claim that other employers recognize it. Be clear with your team about what the certificate is, so the program builds trust instead of pressure.
What employees get out of it
For employees, the exam is a chance to check their own habits against a clear outline and fill gaps before they cause a problem. The certificate belongs to them, so they can keep it after a role change and share it where they choose.
Many people find the preparation as useful as the result. Reading the objectives, trying the sample questions and comparing notes with colleagues often leads to better shared prompts and checklists for the team.
