    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 are AIDP sittings in person?
    Sitting together, in one room, under invigilation keeps the standard consistent — every AI Delivery Professional is measured against the same bar.
    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 AIDP examination fee is USD 350 per sitting.
    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.
    07When and where are the next AIDP sittings?
    Upcoming sittings: Singapore and New York (13 Nov 2026), Sydney (20 Nov 2026) and Austin (11 Dec 2026). Choose a sitting on the register page. From 2027, the examination moves to quarterly global cohorts.
