05Institute internal credentials

Evidence in the work.
Ethics in the seal.

The institute maintains internal study credentials attesting to specified learning, method replication and research output. A certificate confers no mysterious authority and is not a degree, professional qualification or license.

Five credential levels · Common assessment and integrity rules

Internal credential concept: paper, serial identity, seal and verifiable record

INDEXPAGE CONTENT

What a credential proves, how it is earned, verified and revoked.
