Get your skills recognized with GitHub Copilot verified proficiency
GitHub presents the verified proficiency framework and walks through checking results, sharing recognized skills, and managing privacy and control.
How verified proficiency works
Traditional technical certifications often require developers to step away from their projects to complete tests or multiple-choice questions. GitHub Copilot verified proficiency instead evaluates how developers use Copilot in their everyday development workflows.
Developers can opt in to have their proficiency calculated from real product usage signals. The framework includes five proficiency tiers, with no separate exam required.
Checking and sharing results
The video walks through getting started on GitHub Learn, understanding how proficiency is calculated, and reviewing the results. It also covers two ways to share recognition:
- LinkedIn capability statements: Developers can showcase verified capability statements directly on LinkedIn.
- Microsoft Pro Badge through Credly: Developers who reach the proficient level or higher can claim a Microsoft Pro Badge.
The walkthrough also addresses privacy and control.
