The Human-AI Collaboration standard recognises people who get more out of automated systems than the systems get out of them — directing, verifying and knowing exactly when to take the decision back.
Each area is evidenced from your own work. Assessors look for what you decided and why, not for a rehearsed answer.
The same six-level framework, expressed in the terms of this discipline. Experienced applicants can enter directly at a higher level through the portfolio route.

| 2BIPS Practitioner | BIPS-P | Integrates them into daily work with verification habits, under review. | 1–3 yrs | 15 h |
| 3BIPS Professional | BIPS-Pro | Owns outcomes produced with AI assistance and answers for their quality. | 3–6 yrs | 20 h |
| 4BIPS Specialist | BIPS-S | Sets organisational practice for how people and automated systems share work. | 6–10 yrs | 25 h |
