Authorized Training Partners

Bring the AICA Standard
to Your Market.

You deliver the learning. AICA writes the published standard, assesses candidates independently, and issues the credential. That separation is what makes an AICA certification worth earning, and worth delivering.

Why Partner With AICA

The Benefits of Authorization.

AICA owns the standard and the exam. You own the training relationship and the classroom. Authorized Training Partners deliver a credential candidates and their employers can verify, backed by artifacts no marketing accordion can match.

01

Deliver a Published Standard

Teach against an openly published Curriculum Standard v1.0 with numbered learning outcomes, assessment criteria, and A.S.K. statements per credential. Your curriculum has a clear, stable target.

02

Credibility, Independently Assured

Your candidates are assessed by AICA, not by you. That independence removes the conflict of interest and makes the credential you prepare people for genuinely trusted by employers.

03

Verifiable Credentials for Your Graduates

Every candidate you certify receives an Open Badges 3.0 and W3C Verifiable Credential, recorded in a public registry and checkable by anyone, including AI agents, in seconds.

04

Exam Voucher Economics

Deliver AICA exams through wholesale vouchers, with volume-based terms shared during accreditation. You set your own training price above the exam fee.

05

A Portfolio Across Two Tracks

Offer six credentials, from the Foundation practitioner certification to the Executive leadership track, so you can serve a whole organization rather than a single course.

06

Join the Founding Partner Cohort

The Authorized Training Partner network is now forming. Early partners help shape delivery and are positioned first as the public partner directory launches.

The Operating Model

What AICA Provides.
What Partners Deliver.

The line between the two is deliberate and permanent. It is the reason the credential means something.

AICA Provides

The Standard and the Certification

  • Competency frameworks and the published Curriculum Standard v1.0
  • Program review and approval against that standard
  • Independent assessment under the Certification and Standards Authority
  • Credential issuance, digital badges, and the verification registry
Partners Deliver

The Training and the Preparation

  • Instructor-led, virtual, or blended learning built to the standard
  • Curriculum mapped to AICA competency frameworks
  • Candidate preparation and a structured learning environment
  • The commercial training relationship in your market
Partner Requirements

What Authorization Asks of You.

Requirements are published, not negotiated. Every Authorized Training Partner meets the same bar.

01

Qualified instructors. Instructors hold demonstrable AI subject expertise and teaching capability appropriate to the credential level they deliver.

02

Curriculum aligned to the standard. Your program is mapped to the AICA Curriculum Standard v1.0: its numbered learning outcomes, assessment criteria, and A.S.K. statements. Only programs that meet the defined criteria are approved.

03

A structured delivery environment. You maintain a defined delivery methodology and a learning environment consistent with AICA standards across every cohort.

04

Separation of duties. Partners prepare candidates. AICA assesses and certifies. Partners never self-certify their own students, and never issue AICA credentials directly.

05

Integrity and quality assurance. You adhere to AICA integrity, proctoring, and continuous quality-assurance requirements, and authorization is maintained through ongoing review.
