Everything people ask about IAIDL.
What is IAIDL?
IAIDL — the International AI Driving License — is a vendor-neutral, competency-based AI certification body established in June 2015 and headquartered in Wyoming, USA. It certifies individual AI competency at four levels (Foundation, Practitioner, AIMA Assessor and Expert), accredits training centres, and runs the AIMA organisational AI maturity assessment aligned with ISO/IEC 42001. IAIDL is recognised in 80+ countries and has certified more than 100,000 professionals.
What certification levels does IAIDL offer?
Four levels: IAIDL Foundation (AI literacy for any professional, no coding required), IAIDL Practitioner (applied technical AI for IT and transformation teams), AIMA Assessor (certifies the holder to deliver ISO/IEC 42001-aligned organisational AI maturity assessments), and IAIDL Expert (a Silicon Valley AI immersion programme for senior leaders and the C-suite).
How do I verify an IAIDL certificate?
Every IAIDL certificate carries a unique token and is anchored on the IAIDL private certificate ledger. Anyone can verify a certificate free of charge on the official verification page, which checks the certificate against the live register and its tamper-evident ledger record.
What is the AIMA assessment?
AIMA (AI Maturity Assessment) is IAIDL's organisational assessment aligned with ISO/IEC 42001. Certified AIMA Assessors evaluate an organisation across governance, data, infrastructure, talent and agentic-AI readiness, producing a maturity score, benchmark, gap analysis and a prioritised action plan.
How does my organisation become an accredited IAIDL training centre?
Organisations apply through the Get Accredited page. IAIDL reviews the application and supporting documents, and approved centres receive accreditation, portal access, exam capacity and the right to deliver IAIDL programmes in their market. Accreditation is renewed annually.
Is IAIDL certification vendor-neutral?
Yes. IAIDL certifications are vendor-neutral and competency-based: they assess what a person can actually do with AI rather than knowledge of any single vendor's products, and exams are delivered through AI-proctored, adaptive testing.
Is IAIDL accredited and globally recognised?
Yes. IAIDL's leading, best-practice certification is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17024 standard, and its organisational assessments align with ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the international AI management system standard.
