Your journey
From application to credential
02
Select a skill and pay the verification application fee
The fee pays for assessment and independent review — never for an outcome.
03
Submit your evidence
Repository, deployed system, documentation, screenshots, video and your contribution statement.
04
Complete the technical assessment
Timed, randomised and scored against the skill's published pass mark.
05
Defend your work live
Where required, answer reviewer questions and complete an unseen extension task.
06
Receive your credential
A unique verification ID, a verified badge on your profile, and a public verification page.
Honest expectations
Verification can be refused
Roughly speaking, a credential is only meaningful if it can be withheld. If your evidence is insufficient, cannot be attributed to you, or your assessment falls below the published pass mark, the application fails. You receive structured feedback, a defined re-application window and an appeal route.
