Artificial Intelligence (AI) Certification

The recommended pre-course reading is ‘Human + Machine - Reimagining Work in the Age of AI’ by Paul R. Daugherty and H. James Wilson. Publisher: Harvard Business Review Press.

There are a lot of free resources out there for machine learning (ML) and AI available to candidates as additional resource.

AI is already pervasive across many sectors. The vast majority of software and systems already incorporate elements of AI, in its broadest sense, specifically in regard to machine learning.

• Artificial intelligence describes a piece of technology that can imitate and perform intelligent human behaviour, like problem-solving or recognition.
• As AI is relevant to any intellectual task, it has applications across every sector, including healthcare, automotive, finance, advertising, government and military.
• In financial services for example, we can use AI to organise operations, invest in stocks, monitor behavioural patterns to reduce fraud and crime, and increase overall efficiency.
• Artificial Intelligence is a compelling area of computer science research and one which is becoming increasingly present in tech, society and the workplace.

The Artificial Intelligence certificates are not valid for a defined period of time and will not expire.

No. The examinations for both levels are closed-book.

Essentials and Foundation examinations are currently available in English and Chinese Traditional.

For individuals self-studying it is almost impossible to say. As all candidates have different experience and amount of time available for study, it varies from person to person. We suggest you review the reading list before deciding how long you need to spend learning.

 For those studying with an accredited training organization, Foundation courses are generally delivered over 3 days, while training for the Essential level would normally run for 1 day.

Your training organization specified that they wish to view candidate results before releasing. If you would like your results sooner, you may contact your ATO directly and request your results that way. After they have released them, you will be able to create/view your Digital Badge and download your Digital Certificate in your Credly account in the Certificates section of your portal.

Since 2018, we are no longer registered for AXELOS qualifications and are unable to provide the certificates.  

If you received your AXELOS qualification before this time, you can contact customer service and upon providing your candidate number, ask if a copy of your certificate still exists in our system. 

Alternatively, you can reach out to IT PeopleCert directly with this request quoting your candidate number.  

If you do not have your candidate number, we can provide it to you. Additionally, we are happy to provide a letter of verification for any exams sat with us.

Using a company device in which you do not have administrative rights and access to download additional software tends to cause issues when sitting your exam via ProctorU, as outlined in the Candidate Guidance Agreement.  

If you wish to sit your exam via ProctorU again, you will need to pay a reschedule fee of £32 (which you can do in the Candidate Portal) before you can select a new date and time.  

Alternatively, you can reschedule your exam via our AIPP service, where you can take your exam over Zoom without downloading any additional software. Please note there are fewer exam slots available through AIPP.  

Full details of our Proctoring options can be found on our Proctoring Page. 

When you pass an exam – you will instantly have the option to claim a digital badge as representation of your new certificate. Your badge can be embedded on an email signature, website, digital CV, or shared via LinkedIn.
