The Build to Certify method
No videos to watch. Working systems to show.
Most AI training transfers knowledge and changes nothing. Build to Certify works the other way round: people learn AI by building one working system for their actual job — and they're certified only when it works, live, against a published standard. The training ends; the systems keep running.
The proof layer
Certification by CIAI, the Certification Institute for AI — an independent certification body established by London Royal Academy. Certification is awarded only on demonstration of a working build against our published assessment standard. We certify practice, not attendance. View the Build Register →
Who's behind it
Built and delivered by London Royal Academy, led by its CEO — a university professor and author of The Pigeon Strategy. The conviction behind all of it: the best way to learn AI is building useful systems for real work. About us →
Questions
Asked by organisations
How long does the scorecard take?+
Ten questions, about four minutes. Answer for the organisation as it is today, not as the strategy deck describes it.
What do we get?+
Your readiness level, scores across five dimensions, your top three gaps, your three fastest moves, and what organisations at your level do next. Short by design — the depth belongs in the Review call.
What is the Review call?+
A free 30-minute working session, not a sales pitch. We go through your scorecard together and you leave with a clear next step — whether or not it involves us.
What happens after the call?+
One recommendation, not a menu: usually the Team AI Builder Sprint (your people each build a working AI system in five days) or a scoped engagement to redesign specific workflows around AI.
Who certifies the training?+
CIAI, the Certification Institute for AI — an independent certification body under London Royal Academy. Certificates are awarded for working builds assessed against a published standard, never for attendance.
Is our data safe?+
The scorecard stores only your answers and contact details. In training, your team builds with their own accounts — nothing is uploaded to us.
