How you will practise and be assessed.
The planned assessment checks your result, your judgement and your ability to apply what you learned independently.
- 01
Build the promised result
Demonstrate the promised artifact
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWOnly authorised/synthetic targets are used; denied actions stay denied; the learner demonstrates controls and residual risk.
- 02
Test a limit or failure
Automate permission and validation regression checks
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe documented failure/uncertainty is visible, and no prohibited action or unsupported success claim occurs.
- 03
Apply it independently
Independently explain and change one assumption in a hardened educational application and defensive verification report.
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe learner predicts and verifies the change; AI output is not accepted without understanding.
