Understanding you can put to work.
Discovery practitioners and knowledge base stakeholders investigating how work, decisions and records actually move through this stream.
- Define the Knowledge Base stream’s boundaries, trigger and verified outcome.
- Investigate authorship, provenance, review, versioning, publication and retirement using stakeholder and operational evidence.
- Defend recommendations that preserve authority and trace findings to observed reality.
This programme groups 6 connected courses. Certificates are awarded for individual courses, not for completing the programme as a whole.
Your courses, in order.

Scope the Knowledge Base Discovery ↗
Frame the inquiry from a new or changed process, policy or solution to a reviewed, approved and current knowledge article. Define the business question, participants, evidence plan and exclusions. Agree what the client wants to improve and preserve before discussing solutions.
Outcomes, assessment & certificate ↗
Understand Stakeholders & Gateway Participation ↗
Observe real responsibilities and identity contexts. Operations maintains knowledge; Leadership owns approval. External access, where applicable, is controlled and read-only for approved content. Invite frontline explanations and explore the history behind the current practice without assigning blame.
Outcomes, assessment & certificate ↗
Trace Work, Decisions & Records ↗
Map authorship, provenance, review, versioning, publication and retirement. Examine actual records, handoffs, delays and exceptions rather than relying only on a documented ideal process.
Outcomes, assessment & certificate ↗
Investigate Friction & Conflicting Evidence ↗
Investigate two widely used instructions that disagree about an important exception. Triangulate accounts, identify missing evidence and distinguish symptoms from structural causes.
Outcomes, assessment & certificate ↗
Evaluate Right-Fit Interventions ↗
Compare preservation, human support, a PTA, an interface, a simple tool, a hybrid and structure-first options at specific business moments. Include improving the existing system, strengthening human responsibility and making no change. Justify conversation only where it improves the working experience.

Knowledge Base Discovery Defence ↗
Prepare findings, confidence levels, accountable decisions and a bounded next-step recommendation. Operations maintains knowledge; Leadership owns approval. External access, where applicable, is controlled and read-only for approved content. Ask the client to validate the findings; specify what stays unchanged, what remains uncertain and when to review the decision.
Outcomes, assessment & certificate ↗Earn each next step.
Study the course with a Certified AIS Academy Trainer. Prepare the course-specific evidence, check readiness, then take the exam or assessment run by AIS Academy. A pass leads to that course’s certificate, subject to the confirmation and issuance process.
Each examination attempt is paid, including a retake. Fees are intended to be affordable and proportionate; confirmed prices and booking terms will be published before booking opens.

The courses contribute to the following applied work. Each course page explains its own assessment focus; this is not a separate programme examination.
- A Knowledge Base Discovery scope and stakeholder evidence plan.
- An observed current-state map tracing a new or changed process, policy or solution to a reviewed, approved and current knowledge article, with records and exception evidence.
- A case analysis: Investigate two widely used instructions that disagree about an important exception.
- A Right-Fit recommendation, unresolved questions and a validation plan.
