Question 1

What is an AI-native Micro-Credential?

Accepted Answer

An AI-native Micro-Credential from IKON SKILLS® (www.ikonskills.ac) is a Proof-of-Skill credential verified through 100% AI-native, competency-based learning. Each one covers 10 Core Competencies. You must show at least 75% mastery on every competency. It carries 10 ECTS, is endorsed by EIU-Paris, and stacks toward Emerging Degrees.

Question 2

What does "100% AI-native" mean?

Accepted Answer

The learning journey is built, delivered and verified by the IKON Intelligence® AI Competency Engine. It guides learning, checks understanding and verifies skill in realistic work scenarios. Always say 100% AI-native and competency-based. Never say "AI-assessed" or "AI-taught".

Question 3

What is Proof of Skill?

Accepted Answer

Proof of Skill means you show you can do the work. It is not proof of attendance. On IKON SKILLS®, every Core Competency ends in a scenario-based check held to at least 75% mastery.

Question 4

What are Core Competencies?

Accepted Answer

Each Micro-Credential has exactly 10 Core Competencies. They are gated and sequential. You finish one before you open the next.

Question 5

What are AIPs?

Accepted Answer

AIPs are AI Interaction Points. Each Core Competency has a published guide of 20 AIPs. That number is a guide only. It never blocks progress. Always say AIPs, never prompts.

Question 6

What is a mastery-based skills credential?

Accepted Answer

It is a credential where you advance by proving skill, not by seat time. On IKON SKILLS®, the mastery bar is at least 75% on each Core Competency. The verdict is Competent or Not Yet Competent.
