Get Certified

Get Certified Against a Published Standard.

You earn an AICA credential the same way in every market: choose your certification, prepare with an Authorized Training Partner or by self-study, then sit a proctored exam assessed independently by AICA. Pass, and your credential enters a public registry anyone can verify.

The Path

Three Steps to a Verifiable Credential.

Standards, training and assessment are deliberately separated. AICA writes and publishes the standard, Authorized Training Partners deliver preparation, and the certification decision is made independently by the AICA Certification and Standards Authority.

01

Choose Your Certification

Pick one of six credentials across the Foundation, Professional and Executive tracks. Each publishes its full curriculum, learning outcomes and assessment terms in the open, so you can see exactly what it covers before you commit.

02

Prepare Your Way

Prepare with an Authorized Training Partner that teaches to the AICA competency framework, or study on your own against the published curriculum. Training delivery is separate from the certification decision.

03

Sit the Exam and Get Verified

Sit the proctored examination, online or center-based, through an Authorized Training Partner. Pass, and you receive a digital badge with a unique credential ID recorded in the AICA registry, checkable by anyone.
