The capstone is evidence-native: you build a governed agent that emits a valid Evidence Pack™ and survives Replay-Proof™, not a quiz. # Get certified to build AI agents people can trust An AI agent is a tool, and the hard part is the human problem behind it — who authorised this action, and can you prove it later. **KYE Protocol™** certificate programs credential the people who build and operate **governed** agents: not prompt jockeys, but practitioners who can stand an agent's decision in front of a regulator. You earn the credential by _building_ — and the capstone replays with public keys, cutting an auditor's competence check from days of interviews to minutes. [Start a governed pilot](https://kyeprotocol.com/poc/) [See the governed agents](https://kyeprotocol.com/governed-agents/) ## One credential, sector-neutral core plus specialisations The family has one coherent root — the sector-neutral builder credential — and sector specialisations that project it onto a regulated domain. You are never asked to learn a parallel system per sector; you learn the authority boundary once, then apply it where you work. Each program is `status: draft` until issuance opens, declared honestly rather than advertised as awardable before the capstone and enrolment land. Sector-neutral core ### KYE™ Agentic Governance Builder Certificate™ Sector-neutral core The practitioner credential for people who design, build, and operate governed AI agents on KYE Protocol™ — Purpose Permission™, evidence & replay, obligation coverage, and Action Admissibility™ at the boundary. The Compliance Automation track is its advanced tier, not a separate certificate. Certifies competence against EU AI Act™, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 · proven by a proctored exam. - Associate - Builder - Builder · Compliance Automation Sector specialisation · insurance ### KYE™ Governed Insurance Agent Certificate™ Sector specialisation · insurance The insurance projection of the builder credential — for people who bring AI into underwriting triage, pricing, claims assessment, fraud-flagging, policy changes, broker/MGA delegation and complaint handling under the KYE Protocol™ insurance sector-pack authority boundary (fairness, consumer duty, Solvency II conduct). Certifies competence against the EU AI Act™ (insurance), the NAIC Model Bulletin on AI, and the NYDFS insurance circular on AI · proven by evidence review. - Associate - Practitioner Entity-level · self-attested entry ### KYE™ Governed Organization™ Certificate Entity-level · self-attested entry The entity-level entry credential for an organization that runs its AI agents under KYE Protocol™ governance. Self-attested: you declare your governed-agent estate and wire the evidence chain (Purpose Permission™, Resilience Loop™, Evidence Pack™) at the action boundary, and your declaration is listed in the KYE Protocol™ directory. Evidence-backed, never a paid badge — the listing requires your runtime to emit a valid evidence family that is Replay-Proof™ from public keys alone. Self-attested against EU AI Act™, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 · the honest on-ramp to the audited mark · free to list. - Governed Organization Entity-level · independently audited ### KYE™ Certified Governed Organization™ Certificate Entity-level · independently audited The premium entity-level trust-mark — the AI-governance counterpart to SOC 2 / ISO 27001, awarded only after an independent audit under KYE™ Delegated Auditability™ confirms your governed-agent estate emits the full evidence chain: every privileged agent action purpose-scoped, evidenced, replayable, WORM-retained and Replay-Proof™ from public keys alone. Audit-gated, never pay-to-display — the fee buys the audit, not the badge. Certifies organizational AI governance against EU AI Act™, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 · proven by external audit · renewable annually. - Certified Governed Organization More sector specialisations graft onto the same root over time. Two near-identical practitioner certificates for the same competence would overlap — so a new sector is added as a projection of this one credential, never a parallel one. ## The capstone is evidence-native, not a quiz You do not memorise clauses and tick boxes. The KYE™ Governed Insurance Agent Certificate™ capstone asks you to build a real governed insurance agent and prove it the way a regulator would — by reading the evidence, not your slides. A multiple-choice exam tells an employer you can recall a framework; an [Evidence Pack™](https://kyeprotocol.com/evidence-pack/) that replays tells them you can ship one. 1. **Frame the human problem.** Pick a consequential insurance action — say a claims decline — and name who must remain accountable for it before any agent is allowed near it. 2. **Bind the agent's authority.** Scope what the agent may access and do, purpose-bound and time-boxed, so the tool can never act outside the delegation a named underwriter or claims handler gave it. 3. **Emit the Evidence Pack™.** Run the action so it produces a valid `kye.evidence.pack.v1` — purpose, admissibility, decision map and authority grant, sealed at the moment it happened. 4. **Survive Replay-Proof™.** A reviewer re-derives your verdict from the sealed pack and public keys alone. If it replays, you pass — the proof, not your word, carries the credential. Boundary: [KYE Protocol™](https://kyeprotocol.com/) governs whether the agent's action may carry authority and proves the basis — it does not run your agent, write the policy, or decide the claim. The certificate proves _you_ can build inside that boundary. ## Two ladders, kept separate on purpose Certifying a _person_ and certifying a _product_ are different claims, so KYE Protocol™ keeps them on two surfaces that point at each other rather than blurring into one. This page credentials builders; the conformance ladder credentials the agents and products they ship. - **People — this page.** The certificate programs above credential practitioners against the frameworks a governed build must respect. - **Products — the conformance ladder.** The five-tier [conformance certification ladder](https://kyeprotocol.com/certification/) (L0 Declared → L4 KYE™ Certified™) credentials an agent or integration, backed by signed conformance fixtures across 249 frameworks. Keeping the two distinct is deliberate: a certified builder may still ship an un-conformant agent, and a conformant agent may have been built by an uncertified team. Buyers ask both questions, so KYE Protocol™ answers each with its own evidence. ## Who each program is for If you are responsible for an AI agent that touches a consequential decision — and someone will eventually ask you to justify it — one of these credentials is for you. - **A builder or platform engineer** standing up agentic workflows who needs to prove the work is governable, not just functional — start with the KYE™ Agentic Governance Builder Certificate™. - **An insurance compliance officer, actuary or claims lead** bringing AI into pricing or claims who must evidence Solvency II conduct and consumer-duty outcomes — the Governed Insurance Agent Certificate™ is your track. - **A partner or trainer** delivering KYE Protocol™ governance work to clients who wants a recognised, replay-verifiable mark of competence — both programs are accredited delivery targets under the partner and trainer programs. ## Begin Enrolment opens alongside the capstone and exam; until then you can start a governed pilot and meet the agents you will be certified to build. The fastest way to understand the credential is to watch an Evidence Pack™ replay.
