For employers
Your clients are adding AI to their due diligence questionnaires. Your insurer is starting to ask. The AISC Certified Workforce mark gives you a verifiable, register-backed answer — not a policy document.
The moment to get ahead
AI competence is increasingly what separates organisations that win client trust from those that struggle to answer the question. AISC certification gives you a verifiable, register-backed answer — evidence of genuine capability, not just attendance.
Due diligence questionnaires now routinely include AI sections. Organisations with certified staff can answer 'How do you assure AI competence on our account?' with a verifiable, register-backed record — not a policy document.
Professional indemnity insurers are beginning to treat verified AI competence as a positive signal. Firms that can demonstrate genuine capability — not just completed training — will be better placed at renewal.
78% of your staff are already using AI tools. Channel that initiative into certified, accountable practice and make your organisation's AI competence a differentiator clients can independently verify.
The Workforce Mark
Organisations where at least 80% of in-scope staff hold current AISC certification at Foundation level or above may apply to display the AISC Certified Workforce mark. The scope, exclusions and headcount basis are published on the public register and audited annually.
Who counts as in-scope?
The organisation declares its in-scope population — the staff whose AI use is material to client work. Scope and exclusions are published on the register alongside the mark, so clients can judge what it covers.
What does 80% mean?
At least 80% of declared in-scope staff must hold a current (not lapsed) AISC certificate at Foundation or above. The headcount is audited annually; a mark that cannot be checked is not worth displaying.
What happens when certificates lapse?
Certificates expire after 12 months. If renewal drops the certified proportion below 80%, the Workforce Mark is suspended until it is restored. The public register reflects the live position at all times.
AISC Certified
Workforce
The Workforce Mark is available on your website, tender documents and client communications for as long as current certification is maintained. Its validity is checkable by anyone on the public register.
Three concrete uses
01
A single line — 'Our in-scope staff are AISC Certified at Foundation or above (verified at aiskillcentre.com/register)' — answers the AI competence question in a client tender in a way that can be checked independently. Not assertion; verifiable fact.
Clients in professional services, financial services and the public sector are increasingly treating verified AI competence as a procurement criterion. Getting there first matters.
02
When your client's procurement or compliance team sends an AI due diligence questionnaire, the Workforce Mark gives you an answer that points at a public register rather than a PDF that cannot be verified.
The register entry shows scope, headcount, certification date and expiry. It is the same record your client would find if they checked independently — because it is.
03
Insurers assessing professional indemnity risk are beginning to treat verified AI competence as a positive signal. The Workforce Mark, backed by a public register, is the kind of evidence that a policy document alone cannot provide.
What you are certifying
AISC certification is not a general AI badge. Each level is defined by assessable competencies drawn from a published standard and examined under controlled conditions through realistic workplace scenarios.
Every employee
"Can this person use AI tools safely on everyday work without creating liability?"
Team leaders, workflow builders
"Can this person build and supervise AI-assisted workflows, with accountability for their team's outputs?"
AI leads, compliance, senior management
"Can this person govern AI use across the organisation and sign off its annual competence return?"
The full competence framework — 48 competencies across 10 domains — is published at aiskillcentre.com/standard.
Getting started
01
Contact us to set up your organisation on the platform. We agree in-scope staff and headcount basis with you, and publish the scope on the register.
02
Staff take the free baseline assessment to find out where they stand. You see aggregate progress; individuals own their own results and certifications.
03
Staff use the open learning library — mapped to every competency — to prepare at their own pace. They can also train through any other provider; the assessment is independent of how they prepare.
04
Once 80% of in-scope staff hold current Foundation certification or above, apply for the Workforce Mark. Display it on your website, tender documents and client communications.
