Question 1

What is AI CRED?

Accepted Answer

AI CRED is an AI fluency assessment platform that evaluates your ability to work effectively with AI tools. Through a conversational evaluation with an AI assessor, you receive a score from 1-10 across 5 core competencies: Prompt Mastery (40% weight), Practical Application (20% weight), Technical Understanding (15% weight), Critical Evaluation (15% weight), and Workflow Design (10% weight). Unlike traditional certifications, AI CRED measures your actual fluency rather than course completion.

Question 2

How long does the assessment take?

Accepted Answer

The full assessment takes approximately 30 minutes. It consists of 6 sections: Introduction, Technical Understanding, Practical Application, Critical Evaluation, Workflow Design, and Synthesis. Each section adapts to your responses, so the experience is personalized to your skill level.

Question 3

What do I need to prepare?

Accepted Answer

Nothing specific. Just bring your experience with AI tools and a willingness to engage in conversation. There are no study materials or prerequisites. The assessment meets you where you are and evaluates your current fluency level based on real-world experience.

Question 4

Can I retake the assessment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can retake the assessment as many times as you want. Each assessment costs 1 credit. Many users retake the assessment periodically to track their improvement over time and demonstrate growth to employers.

Question 5

How is AI CRED different from certifications?

Accepted Answer

Traditional certifications are completion badges - finish a course, pass a test, get certified. AI CRED is an honest measurement of your actual fluency. Your score can go up OR down based on your current abilities. This makes it a more accurate and trusted indicator of real-world AI skills.

Question 6

Who is AI CRED for?

Accepted Answer

AI CRED is for professionals validating their AI skills for career advancement, job seekers demonstrating AI fluency to employers, teams benchmarking their collective AI capabilities, and anyone curious about where they stand in the AI fluency spectrum.

Question 7

What is the minimum age?

Accepted Answer

You must be at least 13 years old to use AI CRED. Users under 18 should have parental or guardian consent.

Question 8

What are the 6 sections?

Accepted Answer

The assessment consists of 6 sections: (1) Introduction - establishing your background and AI experience, (2) Technical Understanding - evaluating your knowledge of AI concepts and capabilities, (3) Practical Application - assessing how you apply AI in real scenarios, (4) Critical Evaluation - testing your ability to assess AI outputs and limitations, (5) Workflow Design - examining how you integrate AI into processes, and (6) Synthesis - bringing it all together with complex scenarios.

Question 9

How is my score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your score is calculated across 5 weighted dimensions: Prompt Mastery (40%) - your ability to craft effective prompts, Practical Application (20%) - real-world usage skills, Technical Understanding (15%) - knowledge of AI capabilities and limitations, Critical Evaluation (15%) - ability to assess and verify AI outputs, and Workflow Design (10%) - integration of AI into workflows.

Question 10

What is a good score?

Accepted Answer

Score benchmarks: 1-3 indicates beginner-level fluency with room to grow. 3-5 shows developing skills typical of casual AI users. 5.0+ is competitive and demonstrates solid professional fluency. 7.0+ indicates advanced skills suitable for AI-focused roles. 10.0 earns the prestigious Master Badge achievement.

Question 11

What is Velocity Rating?

Accepted Answer

Velocity Rating measures your learning trajectory based on score changes over time. HIGH velocity means rapid improvement (days to weeks). MEDIUM velocity indicates steady progress (weeks to months). LOW velocity suggests a plateau. This helps you and employers understand not just where you are, but how fast you are growing.

Question 12

Can my score go down?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your score can go down. Unlike certifications that you keep forever, AI CRED is an honest measurement of your current abilities. If your skills have declined or AI has evolved beyond your current knowledge, your score will reflect that. This honest measurement is what makes AI CRED trustworthy.

Question 13

What is Master Badge?

Accepted Answer

The Master Badge is a special achievement awarded when you reach exactly 10.0 on the assessment. It represents peak AI fluency and is displayed prominently on your public profile. Very few users achieve this distinction.

Question 14

What is Elite tier?

Accepted Answer

Elite tier is for scores above 10.0 on the scale. While 10.0 represents mastery, some exceptional users push beyond into Elite territory. In Elite tier, there is infinite competition - you are compared against other Elite users rather than a fixed scale.

Question 15

How does the AI evaluate me?

Accepted Answer

The assessment is a conversational evaluation powered by advanced AI models (Claude or Gemini). There are no multiple choice questions. Instead, you engage in natural dialogue where the AI asks follow-up questions, probes deeper into your responses, and adapts to your skill level in real-time.

Question 16

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is simple: $20 for 1 credit (single assessment), $50 for 3 credits (great for tracking progress), or $200/year for 12 credits (annual plan with the best value). Credits never expire, so you can use them whenever you are ready.

Question 17

What is included with 1 credit?

Accepted Answer

Each credit unlocks a complete experience: a full 30-minute AI-driven evaluation, detailed scoring across all 5 competencies with explanations, a personalized 12-week learning plan tailored to your results, and permanent access to your score history and progress tracking.

Question 18

Do credits expire?

Accepted Answer

No, credits never expire. Once you purchase credits, they remain in your account until you use them. Whether you use them next week or next year, they will be there waiting.

Question 19

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Unused credits are refundable within 30 days of purchase. Once you start an evaluation, that credit is considered used and is non-refundable. If you experience technical issues during an assessment, contact support for assistance.

Question 20

Can I cancel subscriptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel your annual subscription at any time. When you cancel, you keep all credits you have already received - they do not disappear. Your subscription simply will not renew at the next billing cycle.

Question 21

Are there discounts?

Accepted Answer

The annual plan at $200/year saves you $40 compared to buying 12 individual credits at $20 each. Promotional discounts are occasionally offered - follow AI CRED on social media or subscribe to the newsletter for updates.

Question 22

What is the Learning Plan?

Accepted Answer

After each assessment, you receive a personalized Learning Plan - a 5-module curriculum specifically designed based on your score and identified growth areas. Each module targets skills where you have the most room for improvement.

Question 23

Are learning modules free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All learning content is completely FREE. The assessment costs credits, but once you have your score, all learning modules, practice exercises, and educational content are included at no additional cost.

Question 24

What are Progress Checks?

Accepted Answer

Progress Checks are diagnostic quizzes you can take after completing learning modules. They are not pass/fail - instead, they show your current understanding and help identify areas that need more attention before taking a Level Up Assessment.

Question 25

What is Level Up Assessment?

Accepted Answer

A Level Up Assessment is a 15-minute comprehensive test (costs 1 credit) that updates your official score. It is designed for users who have completed learning modules and want to demonstrate their improvement officially.

Question 26

How does the perpetual loop work?

Accepted Answer

AI CRED is designed for continuous improvement: Evaluate (get your score) -> Learn (free modules based on your results) -> Level Up (update your official score) -> Repeat. This cycle can continue forever as you grow your AI fluency.

Question 27

Can I skip modules?

Accepted Answer

Modules are generated sequentially based on your learning progress. You need to complete them in order as each builds on previous concepts. However, you can always take a new full assessment to get a fresh learning plan.

Question 28

Do I get a certificate?

Accepted Answer

AI CRED provides something better than a certificate - you get a shareable score and public profile. Certificates are static snapshots, but your AI CRED score is a living measurement that shows your current fluency and growth over time.

Question 29

How do I make my profile public?

Accepted Answer

Go to your profile settings and toggle the Public Profile switch. Once enabled, your profile will be accessible via a unique URL that you can share with employers, colleagues, or on social media.

Question 30

What appears on public profiles?

Accepted Answer

You control what appears on your public profile. Options include: profile photo, bio, headline, your AI CRED score, work experience, and external links. Each element can be individually shown or hidden through your profile settings.

Question 31

How do I appear on the leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

To appear on the public leaderboard, you need two things: (1) Make your profile public in settings, and (2) Have at least one completed evaluation with a score. Once both conditions are met, you will automatically appear on the leaderboard.

Question 32

Can employers see my score?

Accepted Answer

Employers can only see your score if you choose to share it. This happens when you share your public profile link directly, make your profile public and they find you on the leaderboard, or you include your AI CRED score on your resume or LinkedIn.

Question 33

Can I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can delete your account by contacting the support team. Account deletion removes all your data including scores, learning progress, and profile information. Any unused credits are forfeited upon deletion.
