PHILOSOPHY
Certification Philosophy
Agency Script certifications verify judgment under constraint, not memorized knowledge, not tool proficiency, not course completion. Every certification requires demonstrated capability through artifact submission and human review.
Capability over completion
Watching content does not earn certification. Only demonstrated work does.
Judgment over knowledge
We test decision-making quality under realistic constraints, not factual recall.
Human review is mandatory
No certification is issued without human evaluation. AI assists; humans decide.
Lifetime with growth
Credentials are valid for life. Recertification every 2 years keeps you current.
