Technical certification for the AI era

Prove you're a real engineer, not just an AI wrapper.

TENXTEN certifies software engineers on two dimensions: your ability to code without AI (10x Native) and your ability to ship faster with AI (10x Augmented). Complete both to prove you're 100x.

Start Certification →How It Works

The hiring problem in 2026

AI has made it trivially easy to appear competent. Portfolios are generated. Take-home tests are solved by Claude. Technical screens are gamed with copilots.

Employers can't tell who actually knows how to build software and who's just good at prompting. TENXTEN fixes this.

TENXTEN Certification

Proctored, practical, verifiable

Two certifications. One complete picture.

Modern engineering requires both foundational skills and AI fluency. We test both dimensions separately to give employers a complete signal.

Track 1

10x.NATIVE

Prove you can solve real engineering problems without any AI assistance. Browser-based IDE with AI detection. Timed challenges covering algorithms, system design, and debugging.

  • →No copilot, no ChatGPT, no external tools
  • →45-minute proctored challenges
  • →Pass 4 challenges across difficulty levels
Track 2

10x.AUGMENTED

Prove you can leverage AI to ship at 10x speed. Use any tools you want—Cursor, Claude, Copilot—and deliver production-ready solutions under time pressure.

  • →Use any AI tools available
  • →Larger scope, tighter deadlines
  • →Evaluated on output quality and speed

Complete Both Tracks

Earn 100x.PROVEN Status

The ultimate credential. Proves you have deep engineering foundations AND you know how to multiply your output with AI. The complete modern engineer.
