Assessment verifies knowledge, judgment, ethics, operational safety and readiness for supervised responsibility. It is intended to protect users, candidates and DarkWorld systems.
Results may include pass, conditional pass, revision required, fail or disqualification. A conditional or revision result may require targeted remediation before advancement.
Credential exposure, unauthorized access, destructive action, failure to restore a test environment, privacy breach, fabricated evidence, dishonesty or unsafe use of authority may cause automatic failure or disqualification.
Practical work must use approved test environments, accounts, channels and commands. Candidates must verify scope, record changes, remove test bans, restore modes and report unexpected results.
Management may permit reassessment after additional learning, corrected work or a waiting period. Reassessment is not guaranteed and serious integrity or security concerns may make it inappropriate.
Results, attempts, reviewer identities, feedback and remediation are recorded. Candidates may respond to feedback and use the published review process, but may not demand confidential keys or another candidate's records.
