READY ROLE CERTIFICATION
How READY certification works.
Certifications assess competence in a job role. READYScore communicates assessment performance; a score, review and credential issuance are separate stages. Check the current requirements and availability for each offering.
First attempt free · Retakes 50 READY$ with protected waiting periods · Annual renewal 50 READY$OUR AI-FIRST DIRECTION
Useful work. Professional judgment. Accountable outcomes.
READY is developing AI-first certification versions around how professionals plan work, direct AI, verify outputs, protect private information and take responsibility for results. The naming format is READY [Job Role] | AI, such as READY Project Manager | AI. Current assessments retain their existing scope until a specific AI-first version is released.
HOW QUALIFICATION WORKS
From skills assessment to independent review.
Evidence
Show how you apply relevant skills through the required work examples or an approved equivalent. Unknown and unverified are not treated as zero.
Critical criteria
Meet the overall score threshold of 75 and reach Ready on every critical role criterion, with no unresolved critical safety, integrity, fabrication, or authority flag.
Internal review
An authorized independent READY reviewer checks the criteria and records the qualification decision. Payment, training completion and score alone cannot certify anyone.
Certification catalog
Compare role certification requirements.
Search by role, function, or career level. Review the job role and required evidence on each role page. Availability is shown below; a catalog listing does not enroll you in an assessment. AI-first updates are in development; current offerings retain their published scope.

Job roles, assessment expectations, evidence requirements, and related preparation. Open a role to decide what to work on next.
A score of 75 or higher clears one assessment gate. Certification also requires role-critical criteria, evidence, resolution of critical flags, and an authorized independent READY review. This peer-review gate is separate from the exam score; an available exam is not an issued credential.
Your first attempt is included. Retake and renewal rules follow the published READYScore certification policy.
