How it works Editions, exam and recordings
Sessions are live online, in the evening from 18:00 to 20:00 Italian time; the few evenings moved for a public holiday run
from 17:00 to 19:00 and are shown in their edition. Classes have about 30 people, so you can stop the lecturer and ask questions.
At checkout you choose an edition or "decide later" from your member area. Your place is valid for 12 months, and you can
move to another edition yourself up to 5 days before it starts. Enrolment for each edition closes 5 days before its first evening;
the October editions keep their own deadline, shown in the calendar.
Every session is recorded and the recordings stay available for 30 days after the end of the course. The exam is online and
asynchronous: 20 multiple-choice questions in 30 minutes, pass mark 70%, to be taken within 30 days of the last session.
A second attempt within the same 30 days is free.
Membership fee, course contribution, credential and certification
- Membership fee: €24 a year, required to join any course.
- Course contribution: €249 Base, €399 Advanced, €548 for both. AIPIA is a non-profit association and issues a non-fiscal receipt.
- Credential: the European AI Professional Credential attests that you passed the AIPIA exam. It is valid for one year and can be renewed with a short test for €19.
- Certification: UNI 11621-8 certification is issued by an accredited third-party body after a separate exam. The credential is not a certification and not an EU recognition of the course.
Toward UNI 11621-8 certification
The courses count as specific training, one of the requirements for the certification exam: 8 hours for the governance
profiles, 16 for the others. Base covers the first threshold; Base and Advanced together cover both. For the three governance
profiles (AI Consultant, AI Product Manager, Chief AI Officer) AIPIA runs an 80-hour path that includes the two courses;
the first cohort runs from 21 January to 17 April 2027, in Italian, with enrolment open until 15 January 2027; the cohort starts with at least 10 participants.
The contribution is €1,980, or €1,400 for members who have completed both courses.
