Why this matters
Hiring managers, clients and colleagues now ask everyone the same question: how good are you with AI? Most people answer with a guess. The free self-assessment gives you an honest picture of where you stand and a personalised syllabus you can start working through today.
Work through all 10 workplace AI domains, from foundations, prompting and data to ethics, security and governance. Every domain comes from the open AISC standard.
Your knowledge profile puts your confidence in every domain on a single radar chart, with a written summary of where you stand and where to focus first.
Tell us what you want from AI — safer everyday use, AI-assisted workflows or leading governance — and you get a learning plan drawn from our free library and sequenced to get you there.
How it works
Rate your confidence across all 10 AI domains. It is quick, easy and open to everyone, and you can start straight away.
Instantly. You see your confidence in every domain and get access to a free personalised syllabus built around your goals.
Create your free account to work through your syllabus and improve your knowledge with scenario-based questions.
When you are ready, sit the full Foundation assessment. It is free, and a pass earns a verifiable AI foundations certificate.
The self-assessment, your profile, your syllabus and every learning resource are free, always.
Your knowledge profile
See at a glance where you are confident and where to focus, from AI foundations and prompting to data protection, fraud recognition and governance.
Every domain in your profile maps to free resources in the open library, sequenced into a plan you can work through at your own pace, on any device.
You will see which AISC levels to aim for, and your free account unlocks the knowledge diagnostics and full assessments that get you there.
Why it's free
The AI Skill Centre is an independent, industry-funded certification body. We maintain an open standard for the safe and effective use of AI in the workplace: 78 assessable competencies across 10 domains. Our job is to get the UK workforce to that standard as quickly as possible.
Our mission is to certify 10,000 people and 150 organisations in the safe and effective use of AI at work in the next 12 months.
That is why the self-assessment, your knowledge profile, your personalised syllabus, the knowledge diagnostics and the entire learning library are free for everyone, always. We publish the standard openly so any organisation can adopt and build on it, and professional certification is there for the moment you choose to make your knowledge official.
Beyond the self-assessment
Every certificate is scenario-assessed and listed on a public register that anyone can check in seconds. It belongs to you, renews on your schedule and travels with you across roles and organisations.
Safe, effective everyday use: directing AI tools, checking outputs, protecting data and recognising AI-enabled fraud. For every employee. A pass earns your first entry on the public register.
For builders and supervisors: AI-assisted workflows, grounding tools in company knowledge, supervising agents and incident response. Accountable for a team's AI outputs.
For those who set policy, drive adoption and answer for the whole programme: vendor due diligence, the UK regulatory landscape, value measurement and the annual certification return.
Rolling out AI?
Every journey to AISC Accredited status — a live register entry any client or regulator can verify — begins with individuals taking the free self-assessment. Baseline your workforce in days and see the real capability picture across every team.
From there the shape of an accredited organisation is simple: Foundation for everyone who uses AI, Practitioner for the people building workflows and leading teams, and a Governance Lead who owns policy, vendor oversight and the annual return. You hire and promote on verified capability, you give procurement teams a register entry they can check in seconds, and you give your board the evidence it needs to move decisively.
Free self-assessment. Instant knowledge profile. A personalised syllabus built around your goals. Everything you need to reach the standard is free, always. The only question left is where you want AI to take you.
