About the certification
What is VeriLevel?
VeriLevel is an independent online certification of practical AI skills for professionals. It has three levels, Foundation, Practitioner and Expert. Each level is a timed multiple-choice exam, and passing it earns a certificate with a public verification page.
Is VeriLevel accredited?
No. VeriLevel is an independent private credential operated by Bold Latitude LLC. It is not a government credential, a license, a college degree or a certification from an AI vendor, and it is not affiliated with any government agency.
Will employers recognize it?
We cannot promise that. The certificate shows that you passed our exam, and the public record lets anyone check it. How much weight it carries is up to each employer.
Which level should I choose?
Choose Foundation if you use AI tools a few times a week, Practitioner if you rely on AI every day for real deliverables, and Expert if you design AI workflows, automations or agents for others. You can start at any level.
What topics do the exams cover?
All levels cover six domains: instructions and context, evaluating output, everyday workflows, data and privacy, responsible use, and AI agents. Higher levels go deeper and give more weight to workflows and agents.
Do I need to know a specific AI product?
No. The exams are vendor neutral and test durable skills and judgment, not features of any product.
Buying and taking the exam
How much does it cost?
Foundation costs $29, Practitioner $59 and Expert $99. It is a one-time payment that includes four attempts.
Do I need an account?
No. After payment we email you a personal link to your exam. You start the exam from that link whenever you are ready within 12 months.
How long is the exam?
Foundation has 30 questions in 40 minutes, Practitioner 35 questions in 50 minutes and Expert 40 questions in 60 minutes. The timer cannot be paused once you start.
What is the pass mark?
The pass mark is 70% at every level. Answers are scored automatically against a fixed answer key, and you see your result right after you submit.
How many attempts do I get?
Each purchase includes four attempts, your first attempt and up to three free retakes, within 12 months. Every attempt draws a new set of questions, and your exam page shows which domains to review.
Is the exam monitored by camera?
No. You take the exam online without camera monitoring or screen recording. Each attempt draws random questions under a strict time limit, and every certificate states that it was an unproctored assessment.
Can I get extra time?
Yes. If you have a disability, you can request extra time or other reasonable accommodations at no extra cost before you start. Write to accessibility@verilevel.com.
What if I lose my exam link?
Enter your email on the Find my exam link page and we will send you a new link. The old link stops working.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. You can get a full refund at any time before you start your first attempt. Once the first attempt has started, the purchase is no longer refundable.
Certificates and verification
How do I receive my certificate?
When you pass, your certificate is emailed to you automatically as a PDF, with a link to its public verification page and a link to add it to your LinkedIn profile.
How can someone verify a certificate?
Every certificate has a unique ID such as VL-AB12-CD34. Anyone can enter it on the Verify page, or open the verification link, to see the holder name, level, issue date, expiry date and status.
How long is a certificate valid?
24 months from the issue date. AI tools change quickly, so a certificate should reflect current skills. You can renew by passing the current exam again.
Can I hide my public record?
Yes. You can hide or show your public record at any time from your exam page.
Can a certificate be revoked?
Yes, if we have good reason to believe it was obtained in breach of the Terms, for example by sharing questions or letting someone else take the exam. We explain why and give you a chance to respond first.
Teams and organizations
Do you offer team certification?
Yes. Group pricing is available from five people, with individual results, a team summary and one invoice. Email support@verilevel.com to arrange it.
Can we use VeriLevel in hiring decisions?
Because the exam is unproctored, it should not be the only factor in hiring or promotion decisions. It works best as one signal alongside real work samples and interviews.
