AI CHINA ACADEMY
From workplace application to specialist delivery, demonstrate assessed capability for job applications and career development. A1–B1 cover common workplace applications; specialization begins at B2. Each level assesses its published scope using the stated assessment methods, and certificates identify the level, specialization and assessed scope.
Registration opens soon
A1 · WORKPLACE APPLICATION
An online workplace scenario assessment of AI application knowledge and professional judgement in information handling, task framing and output verification.
US$30One test; certification requires passing. Registration is in preparation.
A2–C2 · PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Practical work, observed assessment and specialist review. Independent human evaluation begins at B1; specialization begins at B2.
Available in a later releaseFees are in US dollars; courses are free. A1 is US$30 for one test. Eligible fees for levels already passed are credited toward higher-level applications. The amount due will be shown before checkout. Registration is not yet open.
Apply knowledge of AI capabilities and limits to common workplace scenarios: judge tool suitability, frame clear work requirements, evaluate outputs, and recognise privacy and permission boundaries.
Online foundation assessment
Assesses the knowledge, methods and professional judgement needed to apply AI in workplace scenarios. Candidates explain common AI capabilities and limits, select tools suited to a task, identify effective work instructions, evaluate output reliability, and recognise data-use, permission and human-review boundaries. Assessment uses workplace scenario questions.
Workplace scenario responses provide evidence of AI application knowledge, professional judgement and verification skills within the published syllabus.
Independently complete defined workplace tasks, choose tools, meet requirements and check results; assessment is conducted under proctoring.
Proctored assessment
Assesses independent AI use in defined workplace contexts. Candidates select and operate permitted tools, complete specified tasks, verify outputs against published checks, and explain when human intervention is required. Practical performance is observed under proctored conditions.
Evidence comprises task outputs, prescribed checks and necessary process records from the proctored session; conclusions are limited to the published workplace contexts.
Independently complete multi-step tasks, manage constraints, validate outcomes and explain methods, evidence and personal contributions to an independent evaluator.
Proctored assessment + independent human evaluation
Assesses the integration of AI tools and human judgement across multiple steps. Candidates translate a brief into an executable workflow, deliver within resource and quality constraints, validate results with inspectable evidence, and explain their methods and personal contribution to an independent evaluator.
Evidence comprises a live integrated task, validation records and an oral assessment; independent human evaluation checks output quality and personal contribution.
Design, implement and validate a usable solution in a specialization, demonstrating the B1 common foundation and meeting relevant quality, risk and delivery requirements.
Proctored assessment + independent specialist evaluation
Assesses independent delivery of a usable solution in a selected specialization. Candidates apply specialist methods to design, implement and validate their work, meet quality, risk and delivery requirements, and demonstrate the B1 common foundation and specialist competence through proctored tasks and a defence.
Evidence comprises specialist practice, live variations or checks, and a defence; the result is explicitly limited to the specialization named on the certificate.
Address complex, unfamiliar problems in a specialization, compare approaches, experiments and system trade-offs, and support judgements with reproducible evidence.
Proctored assessment + independent specialist evaluation
Assesses advanced professional competence in complex, unfamiliar problems within a specialization. Candidates compare viable methods, design rigorous validation, explain system and resource trade-offs, and support reproducible professional judgements through project evidence, a live methods challenge and expert defence.
Evidence combines a project dossier, methods challenge, comparative validation and defended reproduction; document volume is not a substitute for demonstrated competence.
Make a verifiable original technical or methodological contribution in a specialization, demonstrate command of relevant AI mechanisms, and withstand expert questioning and reproducibility checks. Commercial outcomes require technical depth and personal contribution.
Proctored assessment + independent expert evaluation
Assesses research and innovation capability within a specialization. Candidates establish an original technical or methodological contribution, explain the relevant core AI mechanisms, support their claims with reproducible evidence, and respond to independent expert questioning. Technical commercialization is assessed against the same requirements for originality, technical depth and personal contribution.
Evidence comprises original work, comparison with prior approaches, reproducibility review and a personal expert defence; revenue, position or team output alone does not establish individual technical competence.
PROGRESSION CREDIT
Each candidate uses an individual account. You do not pay again for a level you have passed. Eligible fees already paid for earlier levels are credited when you apply for a higher level through the same account.
When registration opens, eligible credit will be calculated automatically and the amount due shown before checkout.

This framework supports learning and career development through defined competence standards, inspectable assessment evidence and traceable certification decisions. AI CHINA LLC intends to develop the framework through industry validation, independent review and appropriate external recognition routes. No external accreditation has currently been obtained; any future recognition will be limited to its stated body, scheme, level, specialization and effective scope.
