Codvo agentic AI certification program

How CertOps works, what counts as proof, and where to find your record.

This page is the source of truth for the Codvo certification program. It explains the available learning sources, the internal levels, what we accept as completion evidence, and how recertification works. Bookmark it — your manager and L&D will reference it too.

The flow

From enrollment to badge in five steps

Every certification — provider course or internal trial — follows the same five-step pipeline. CertOps records the evidence at each step so the credential is auditable end-to-end.

  1. 1

    Enroll

    Pick a certification in the catalog and enroll. CertOps records who you are, which credential you are pursuing, and a target completion date.

  2. 2

    Learn

    External provider courses open on the provider site (Skilljar, vendor portal). Codvo internal trials run inside CertOps as a timed attempt.

  3. 3

    Submit proof

    Attach a provider certificate URL, LinkedIn credential, PDF, or capstone GitHub PR. For internal levels you submit a capstone artifact.

  4. 4

    Review

    External courses are reconciled via provider import. Internal capstones run through an AI-assisted review, then a human board scores them.

  5. 5

    Badge

    On pass, CertOps issues an OpenBadges-compliant credential with a public verification URL. Expiry-tracked credentials enter the renewal calendar.

Learning sources

Four primary tracks, plus third-party recognition

Codvo recognises four primary certification sources, each with its own role in the program. Most employees will combine at least one external provider course (Anthropic Academy or CCA) with one Codvo internal trial.

External · Free

Anthropic Academy

Skilljar import

Anthropic's free, self-paced Skilljar courses on Claude — prompt engineering, tool use, agent patterns, evaluation, safety. Open to all employees as the foundational layer.

Every active Academy course is mirrored into CertOps weekly. Completing a course on Skilljar returns a certificate URL — paste it into your enrollment and the credential lands in your passport.

External · Paid + proctored

Claude Certified Architect (CCA)

Anthropic credential

Anthropic's official proctored exam for senior practitioners. Required for client-facing AI architects and a strong signal for partner-network positioning. Codvo sponsors exam fees for approved candidates.

CCA recertification follows Anthropic's schedule; CertOps tracks the expiry date and nudges you before it lapses.

Internal · Codvo program

Codvo Agentic AI Operationalization

Capstone + board

Three-level internal program — L1 Practitioner, L2 Builder, L3 Architect — focused on production agent systems across seven control layers (runtime, identity, data, tools, observability, human approval, kill switches).

Levels are evidence-driven. You ship an artifact, AI review runs as advisory feedback, and a human board scores the final pass. L3 requires annual recertification.

Internal · Engineering velocity

Hypervelocity Certification

Shipped artifact

Five-level engineering velocity track (L1 → L5). Each level certifies you can ship a defined scope of work within a target time window, with tests, integration, and (from L3 up) production release ownership.

Every Hypervelocity capstone PR runs through an AI-assisted review before the human board makes the final call.

External · Recognised

Third-party (cloud, data, vendor)

Vendor credential

AWS, Azure, Google, Snowflake, Databricks, Cloudflare, Datadog, OpenAI, and other vendor certifications relevant to agent delivery. Attach the credential URL or PDF and CertOps records it like any other external credential.

Codvo internal levels

L1 Practitioner → L2 Builder → L3 Architect

The Codvo Agentic AI Operationalization track has three levels. Levels are designed to build on each other — most teammates start at L1 and pursue L2 or L3 along an engineering, data, security, product, or architect track.

L1~2 weeks · 2 hr/day

Agent Foundations Practitioner

Common literacy. Identify credible agent opportunities, map risks, explain the seven control layers, and translate a workflow into agent steps and approvals.

Proves you can…

  • Explain the difference between chatbot, copilot, workflow automation, and agent
  • Identify appropriate vs inappropriate agent use cases
  • Describe tool use, routing, planning, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop patterns
  • Map a business workflow into agent steps, data, tools, approvals, and risks
  • Communicate agent value and risk in CIO-friendly language

Short scored quiz plus a written use-case mapping. Open to all roles including non-engineers.

L2~3–4 weeks · role track

Agent Systems Builder

Build and evaluate a controlled agent prototype. You demonstrate tool selection, governed data access, observability, evaluation harnesses, and approval flows on a small real scenario.

Proves you can…

  • Construct an agent with tools, governed data access, and approvals
  • Add observability and a basic evaluation harness with traces
  • Demonstrate kill-switch and rollback paths
  • Run a structured red-team exercise (prompt injection, tool misuse, exfiltration)
  • Hand off documentation a colleague can run independently

Working prototype + evaluation report + red-team summary, scored against the L2 rubric.

L3~4–6 weeks · capstone

Agentic AI Solution Architect

Design a production-ready agent operating model for an enterprise or industry-specific client context. Highest internal level; annual recertification.

Proves you can…

  • Design end-to-end agent architecture across the seven control layers
  • Make explicit tradeoffs on identity, governed data, tools, and human approval
  • Define the operating model: SLOs, observability budgets, on-call, incident response
  • Map architecture to a real industry context (insurance, healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing)
  • Defend the design to a CIO/CTO audience and present a credible cost and risk picture

Capstone artifact + architecture review + L3 board with ≥2 independent reviewers. Annual recertification required.

Hypervelocity engineering levels

Five levels by what you ship within a target time window

Hypervelocity certifies engineering velocity at five distinct scopes. Each level is awarded by shipping a real, working piece of work — code, tests, integration, and (from L3 up) production release — inside the target time window with quality intact.

LevelWhat you shipExampleTarget time
L1Small scoped coding task with working code and unit tests. Task is already defined; no QA or DevOps ownership.Add a new API endpoint, build a small UI component, add validation logic, or fix a backend bug.≈ 2 hours
L2Small feature slice across components. Light spec interpretation; integration expected; basic QA expected.Vertical slice from UI → API → DB; add a filter with backend support; implement a workflow step.4–6 hours
L3Complete end-to-end feature from spec to production-ready. Spec, code, tests, integration, QA, DevOps, ship.A user-facing feature: settings page with backend persistence, notifications workflow, approval flow.1–2 days
L4Major feature, epic, or subsystem end-to-end with reuse / team leverage (templates, patterns, workflows).Role-based access control, payment integration, multi-step onboarding, service migration.3–5 days
L5System, platform capability, or org accelerator. Defining requirement is durable team or org uplift.Internal developer platform feature, reusable deployment framework, shared service that accelerates teams.1–2 weeks

Pass philosophy: time + quality + ownership + repeatability. Completing within the target time is necessary but not sufficient. Every Hypervelocity capstone PR gets an AI-assisted review for advisory feedback; final certification always requires human board approval.

Proof contract

What CertOps will (and will not) accept as completion evidence

Provider courses live outside CertOps — Skilljar hosts Anthropic Academy, Anthropic hosts CCA exams, vendors host their own portals. CertOps owns launch traceability, durable evidence, reconciliation, and renewal history. Activity is not the same as a pass.

Accepted proof

  • Provider certificate URL (Skilljar, LinkedIn Learning, AWS, Azure, Google)
  • LinkedIn credential link issued by the provider
  • Provider-issued PDF certificate uploaded into CertOps
  • Provider completion import row (CSV from L&D) matched to your record
  • Codvo internal trial: capstone artifact + AI review + board pass

Not accepted as proof

  • Iframe watch time inside CertOps
  • Browser tab focus or page-view tracking
  • A launch click alone (it opened the provider — it did not finish it)
  • Self-reported "done" without an attached artifact
  • Internal trial submission without a capstone or rubric score

If you cannot attach evidence yet, that is fine — CertOps keeps the record in flight on your dashboard until the proof arrives. Provider completion imports run regularly to reconcile older completions automatically.

Recertification

Credentials have a lifespan — CertOps watches the calendar so you do not have to

Agentic AI infrastructure moves quickly. Some certifications expire on a fixed schedule; others are evergreen. CertOps tracks each expiry date, sends a 90/30/7-day nudge sequence before expiry, and exposes a Recertify path before the credential lapses.

Codvo Internal L3

Annual recertification — Level 3 Architect must refresh evidence each year to stay current with the agent-system landscape.

Codvo Internal L1 / L2

No fixed expiry today, but you may be asked to refresh artifacts if program content changes materially.

External providers

Provider-defined. Anthropic Academy courses do not expire; CCA recertification follows Anthropic's schedule; cloud certs (AWS, Azure, Google) follow vendor policy.

When a credential enters its 90-day window, you will see a banner on your dashboard and on your passport. Email nudges land at 90, 30, and 7 days; if you have Teams notifications enabled, those also fire. After expiry the badge moves from active to expired on the public verifier — recertify before that flip to keep the credential continuous.

Who sees what

Roles and the cockpits they unlock

CertOps shows different surfaces depending on what you do at Codvo. Every employee gets a path; managers get a team matrix; admins, board reviewers, L&D admins, and execs each have additional governance views.

Employee

Everyone at Codvo. You enroll, complete provider courses or internal trials, upload proof, and earn badges. Your weekly view is the Employee cockpit.

Cockpit → /dashboard/employee

Manager

Anyone with direct reports. You see a team readiness matrix, overdue records, proof queues, and a weekly unblock cadence. Used to assign and unblock — not to grade.

Cockpit → /dashboard/manager

Board reviewer

Independent reviewers who score Codvo internal capstones. Conflict-of-interest is enforced — you cannot review your own report's submission, your direct manager's, or a teammate's.

Cockpit → /dashboard/board

L&D admin

Owns cohort planning, provider completion imports, finance exports, catalog governance, and rollout pacing. Pairs with managers to keep waves moving.

Cockpit → /dashboard/admin

Admin

Platform-level access for role grants, audit, worker runs, notifications routing, and broad-release governance. Required for the launch room.

Cockpit → /dashboard/admin

Exec

Senior leadership. Reads the executive scorecard: org coverage %, partner-network floor, CCA pipeline, weakest-department signal, cost trend, and next-action trust gates.

Cockpit → /dashboard/exec
