Roles this course serves
This course is authored to band B4.
Every course we run is written to one rung of the CASI ladder, so a plan can be assembled to take a team from where they are to where they need to be.
What do B1–B6 mean?The CASI Capability Ladder — click to expand
Every course targets a band on the CASI Capability Ladder — our six-band proficiency scale, anchored to open standards (O*NET, ESCO, NICE, NIST AI RMF, Bloom's). A band tells you how deep a course goes, and what evidence proves it.
A note on B6. Courses in this catalog target B1–B5. B6 is not taught — it is recognised, through a portfolio and a panel, once someone is setting direction for others. Every journey here is built to land a learner at B5.
