## Attendance and completion

- Attendance is recorded at the start and end of every session (live virtual: platform attendance log plus an instructor roll call or poll; in-person: signed sheet).
- A trainee must attend 100% of instructional hours. A missed session may be made up by attending the same session in another scheduled cohort within 30 days; the make-up is logged the same way.
- A trainee must submit every required lab deliverable and score 'Meets' on the final applied task.
- Each completion record is tied to the trainee, the employer FEIN, and the course number, and is kept for the contract retention period.
- Incomplete trainees are not reported as completions and are not billed to anyone. FAST AI pays for completions only; employers and trainees are never charged.
- Optional asynchronous pre-work (under 10% of course time) is supplemental, is not counted as instructional hours, and never substitutes for a live session.

## Assessment rubric

Each criterion is scored Not yet / Meets / Strong. Completion requires Meets on every criterion for the final deliverable (resubmission allowed within the course window).

| Criterion | Meets standard |
| --- | --- |
| Accuracy checking | Every AI output checked; errors marked and fixed |
| Permissions awareness | Over-shared file found and corrected |
| Applied playbook | Five real tasks with steps, prompt, check, time |
| Live demo | Two playbook tasks performed correctly in front of instructor |
