What's new in v2.0

What changed in this edition.

  • Field work taught as the product really behaves: Nexus Mobile's on-device outbox replays each capture separately, drops rejected items, and offers no offline AI, so you learn a reconnect check that proves what synced.
  • One role per person: the seven tiers, custom roles capped at Operator, and per-project permissions replace v1's invented per-zone tiers; AI agents get their own narrow credentials and are never promoted.
  • Memory layers mapped to real vault paths replace v1's five zones, so your layout matches what the console and Nexus show.
  • Compliance evidence now uses real mechanisms: structured regulatory entries, recorded human acceptances, the hash-chained audit log, and Robo Compliance sealed audit sessions with an auditor portal.
  • New lessons on Home and the Morning brief, Plan, Nexus Meetings for site meetings, and getting data from Procore, Datamine, NX and similar tools through exports, scans and evaluated gateways.
  • Hand-offs run MCP-first (start_brain_session, record_decision with an owner, Lineage links); the git open.md / closure.md ritual is taught as an alternative.
  • Nine AI role-play labs, an AI role-play capstone with four discipline anchor exemplars, and a new exam bank with AI-conducted performance items.
Outcomes

What you will be able to do.

  • You will be able to design a field + office project's memory in layers mapped to real vault structures, with named curators and a conflict path.
  • You will be able to give crews, engineers, compliance reviewers, outside parties and AI automations one least-privilege role each, with per-project grants and a proven boundary.
  • You will be able to run cross-discipline hand-offs with an AI assistant as context bridge, qualifying units, datums, grids and revisions, and recording owned acknowledgements.
  • You will be able to set field capture rules for Nexus Mobile and verify after every connectivity gap what reached the vault.
  • You will be able to run the daily standup and site meetings on Home, Plan and Meetings so decisions are recorded with owners.
  • You will be able to capture regulatory conditions as structured, superseded entries and produce sealed, shareable audit evidence.
  • You will be able to onboard people and agents, coach the personal loop in non-software disciplines, and run blameless multi-discipline retros.

Who it's for

  • Project engineers and technical leads coordinating field and office crews

Labs and capstone

Practice against someone who pushes back.

Labs run in your browser as AI role-plays. An AI plays the person on the other side of the scenario — with their own goals and objections — and your work is scored against the published rubric. There is nothing to install.

    Designing the team memory for a construction project with a project engineer who wants crews and assistants writing straight into project files

  • Lab 2 · The cross-discipline bridge

  • Lab 3 · Field conditions: capture, connectivity and daily cadence

    Coaching a mining shift supervisor through three days of intermittent connectivity, a rejected capture and offline Home ticks

  • Lab 4 · Field conditions: capture, connectivity and daily cadence

Questions

Frequently asked.

Do I need to install anything for the labs?

No. Labs and the capstone run in your browser on learn.brrain.io as AI role-plays: an AI plays the person on the other side of the scenario, and your work is scored against the rubric published with the course.

How is the exam delivered?

Online and timed: 59 items in 120 minutes, on a form assembled for you from the course's item bank. 4 of the items are performance tasks conducted by an AI examiner: you do the work rather than pick an answer. The pass mark is 72%.

What if I don't pass first time?

You have 2 attempts, with a 7-day wait after an unsuccessful attempt. Further exam attempts can be bought for $299 each.

How long is the credential valid?

3 years. You receive a verifiable digital badge with a public verification page at learn.brrain.io/verify, so anyone can confirm it is genuine.

I hold the v1 credential. Is it still valid?

Yes. Credentials earned on v1 remain valid and verifiable at learn.brrain.io/verify. When you renew, you sit the then-current version of the exam.

Can my company enroll a team?

Yes. Firms can buy a certification bundle for $2,999 per firm per year — see the pricing page — or contact us to arrange enrollment for a larger group.
