A checklist for an honest sitting

For candidates · AIRS-J/1 v2.3

Judgment is how well a person decides once AI has given the answer. AIR APAC certifies the exercise of judgment in AI-enabled work from what a candidate does, so the result must be the candidate's own. Tick each line before, at the start of, during and after a certifying sitting.

Before the sitting

[ ] Read Section 2.2 of the Standard, which says what the Assessment measures and does not measure.
[ ] Know who receives your result and what it may be used for. You are told before you start (12.6).
[ ] If you need an access support, ask for it as early as you can, and before the Assessment. Keep the written decision (8.9).
[ ] Know that the employer is never told whether an access support was used (12.6).
[ ] Have no leaked scenario content (18.4), and do not ask anyone for it.
[ ] Do not use material that claims to show certifying scenarios or their answers. AIR APAC monitors for it and retires the scenario (9.3, 9.5).

At the start

[ ] Sit as the person registered, and complete the identity check (9.1).
[ ] Give true identity and eligibility details (18.4).
[ ] If the sitting is for a hiring decision, sit in person, under supervision (9.1).

During the sitting

[ ] Use the AI provided inside the assessment as you would at work. It is there to be used, and declining it is not scored as caution (9.2).
[ ] Use no AI tool outside the provided environment (9.2, 18.4).
[ ] Sit the Assessment yourself. Nobody else sits for you (18.4).
[ ] Know that a material technical failure is a ground for appeal (18.6).

After the sitting

[ ] Do not share the scenarios. A scenario that appears in public preparation material is retired from certification (9.3).
[ ] Describe your credential in the plain-language wording printed on it, and always give its track, band, confidence and version (2.1, 2.2, 13.2, 14.1). Material misrepresentation of its meaning is a ground for suspension or revocation (18.4).
[ ] If you think a rule was applied wrongly or the sitting had a material fault, you may appeal within 30 days (18.5, 18.6). Appeal is free for the first instance.

What this checklist does not claim. It covers conduct, not the content of a sitting. It is not preparation for any scenario, and it does not change anyone's chance of certifying (9.5, 20.2).

AIR APAC publishes the standard for judgment in AI-enabled work, certifies people against it through its official instrument, and stands behind every result.
