Who may use a mark
Only a person who holds a valid AIPA credential may use its title, its designation letters (for example 'CAIP'), its digital badge or the AIPA certification mark — and only while that credential is valid. Organisations do not hold credentials and may not use AIPA marks to describe themselves.
How to use it
Use the exact credential name ('Certified AI Practitioner') or its designation after your name (for example 'Priya Shah, CAIP'). Where you can, link it to your verification record so others can check it.
Use the badge and certificate as issued: do not alter, recolour, crop or combine them with other marks.
What is not allowed
Using a title, designation or badge for a credential you do not hold, or that has expired, is suspended or has been revoked; claiming a level or scope the credential does not cover; using AIPA marks in a company, product, domain or social-media account name; suggesting that AIPA endorses you, your employer, or any product or service; and describing AIPA or the credential as 'accredited' unless and until an accreditation body has granted it.
When a credential ends
If your credential expires, is suspended or is revoked, you must stop using its title, designation and badge immediately and remove them from your CV, profiles and signatures within 30 days.
How we monitor and respond
We check reported and sampled uses of AIPA marks. Misuse by a holder is handled under the Exam Security, Misconduct & Sanctions policy and can lead to suspension or revocation. Misuse by someone who does not hold the credential is recorded and may be published or referred for legal action.
This policy is provided for transparency and is not legal advice. Where local law grants you stronger rights, those rights prevail.
