AIP — Associate in AI Proficiency
Validate that you can effectively use AI tools in your daily professional work. The AIP is designed for non-technical professionals across all industries.
Who Is the AIP For?
The AIP certification is designed for professionals who use AI tools in their work but do not build AI systems. This includes sales professionals, marketers, HR practitioners, project managers, executives, consultants, educators, and anyone whose role benefits from AI-augmented productivity. If your job involves drafting, analyzing, communicating, or decision-making — and you use AI to do it better — the AIP is for you.

The AIP exam assesses practical AI proficiency across four competency domains defined in the AI Skills Network Body of Knowledge. The exam emphasizes applied skills over theoretical knowledge — most questions present realistic professional scenarios.
