The Standard

We publish our own standard, and hold to it in public.

Accreditation certifies that a curriculum resembles other curricula. It has never certified that a graduate can do anything. We replaced it with something checkable: work delivered on a real project, signed off by the organisation that received it.

Why no accreditation

Accreditation certifies process. We certify outcomes.

Traditional accreditation checks that a curriculum resembles other accredited curricula — credit hours, seat time, syllabus structure. It has never checked whether a graduate can do the work. For a long time that was a defensible trade-off, because there was no cheaper way for an employer to check a stranger's competence at scale than to trust a proxy.

That trade-off is gone. Recall, summarisation, and pattern-matching — the things a transcript was actually measuring — are now commodity capabilities. What is scarce is judgement under real constraints: knowing when the textbook answer is wrong for this situation, and being able to defend the call. That can't be faked on a resume, and it doesn't need an accreditor to verify it. It needs a receipt.

AmGloDU is a Delaware-registered non-profit corporation. It does not seek accreditation from any degree-granting authority. It publishes its own standard, and every warrant it issues is backed by verified field work and recognised by the organisations in its Recognition Network.

The ladder

Warrant tiers

Each tier states what it proves, how it maps to a legacy credential, and how much verified field work backs it.

Tier 0

Field Warrant

No legacy equivalent — narrower and faster than a certificate

One capability, proven once on a real engagement.

4–8 months · 240 verified field hours

Tier I

Practitioner Warrant

Maps to a Bachelor's degree

You can do the work to a professional standard, on a real project, with a named supervisor prepared to say so.

24 months · 1,600 verified field hours

Tier II

Architect Warrant

Maps to a Master's degree

You can own a system end to end — scope it, build it, defend the trade-offs, and lead the people delivering it.

18 months · 1,200 verified field hours

Tier III

Principal Warrant

Maps to a Doctorate

You have moved the frontier — produced a method, system, or result that did not exist, which others now use.

30 months · 2,400 verified field hours

Honoris Causa
