Certification advantages

AI certification for every role, not just IT

CIAI certifications are built for the people who do the work in every department. They prove you can use AI to deliver your daily tasks faster, raise the quality of your results and make better decisions — safely, and with no technical background required.

Designed for every position

No coding and no technical background required. Exam scenarios come from HR, finance, procurement, operations, customer service, legal, communications and management — the work most employees actually do.

Better results in your daily work

The skills measured are the tasks you repeat every day: writing, summarizing, analyzing, reporting and preparing decisions. Certified professionals turn work around faster and deliver higher-quality output.

From using AI to improving how work gets done

The Professional level goes beyond prompting: designing AI agents and automating multi-step workflows with approvals, so whole processes — not just single tasks — become faster and more reliable.

Responsible AI in every exam

Every exam tests data protection, verification of AI output and human oversight. Certified staff use AI confidently within company policy, reducing the risks of careless or unsafe use.

Vendor-neutral skills that last

You are certified on how to work with AI, not on one product. The skills apply to the assistants and office tools your organization already uses, and the credentials are versioned so they keep pace with AI.

Verified by people, not just completed

Every result is reviewed and confirmed by the CIAI certification office before a certificate is published, with identity details and exam integrity checked. A CIAI certificate means the skills were demonstrated.

Proof anyone can check in seconds

Each certificate has a unique ID, a QR code and a public verification page. Employers and clients confirm it online at any time; you can add it to your LinkedIn profile in one click.

Flexible, accessible and permanent

Take the exam online whenever you are ready, with no prerequisites and unlimited retakes. Your certificate does not expire and shows the version you earned it under.

Useful in every position

What certified skills look like in your role

The same certified skills create value across the whole organization. Here is how professionals in different functions use them every day.

Human resources

Draft job descriptions and policies, summarize employee feedback, answer policy questions consistently and prepare HR reports in a fraction of the time.

Finance & accounting

Explain variances, summarize financial reports, prepare management commentary and double-check figures before they reach decision-makers.

Procurement & supply chain

Draft requests for quotation, compare supplier offers side by side, summarize contracts and track supplier performance.

Customer service

Write accurate, on-brand replies, summarize long case histories, build knowledge-base answers and spot recurring issues early.

Sales & marketing

Research prospects, tailor proposals and campaign content to each audience, and analyze results to sharpen the next campaign.

Operations & administration

Produce meeting minutes and action lists, document procedures, organize follow-ups and automate routine, repetitive steps.

Legal & compliance

Summarize long documents, compare clauses and draft first versions faster — while keeping confidential information protected.

Managers & team leaders

Prepare decision briefs, consolidate team reporting, identify where AI can help the team and lead its responsible adoption.
