01 — FAQ
Frequently asked.
01Who is the AI Delivery Professional (AIDP) for?
Delivery leads, AI programme owners, and the people accountable for whether enterprise AI investments produce outcomes. 5+ years of experience is recommended, not mandatory.
02Why in person for the first AIDP sitting?
The founding cohort is a reference cohort. Sitting together, in one room, sets the standard the AI Delivery Professional designation is calibrated against.
03Is AIDP a degree?
No. AI Delivery Professional is a professional designation awarded by examination, conferred by ADaSci. It is not a degree, diploma, or academic qualification.
04What does it cost?
The fee for the founding AIDP sitting is USD 350.
05How hard is it?
Designed to be hard. The indicative pass rate is ~35% — if everyone passed, nothing would have been certified as an AI Delivery Professional.
06How often do AI Delivery Professionals recertify?
Recertification cadence will be published by ADaSci ahead of the founding conferral.
07Will there be more AIDP sittings after the founding cohort?
Yes. From 2027, the AIDP examination moves to quarterly global cohorts. Additional venues and any remote modality will be announced after the founding sitting.
08What does 'founding cohort' mean?
The first group conferred as AI Delivery Professionals. There is no second first. Founding AIDP holders are listed as the permanent reference cohort.
