FAQs About GMCS Certificate

Not required, but helpful. AIPL teaches the framework and methodologies. If you have project management experience and have worked with AI teams (even in support roles), you can apply those experiences. However, ideally you've worked on at least one AI/data project.

AIPL is AI-specific. While general PM certifications (PMP, CAPM, PRINCE2) cover broad project management, AIPL focuses exclusively on AI/ML-specific complexities: data quality, model validation, fairness testing, AI-specific risks, team coordination with data scientists, etc. AIPL is complementary to general PM certifications.

Technically yes, but AIFA is strongly recommended. AIFA ensures you understand AI/ML fundamentals, capabilities, and limitations, which provides important context for AIPL. If you haven't taken AIFA, consider doing so first (8–12 weeks) to strengthen your foundation.

Minimal. AIPL focuses on project management and governance, not technical implementation. You'll understand concepts like "model validation," "fairness testing," and "data quality" conceptually but won't do technical work. If you've completed AIFA, the technical level is comparable.

Yes, absolutely! AIPL provides the AI-specific knowledge you need to manage AI projects. Combined with your IT PM background, this credential positions you well for AI/data project leadership. Many successful AIPL candidates come from traditional IT PM backgrounds.

Yes. GAMTS is a global governing body. AIPL is recognized internationally as a credible mid-level AI project management credential. It's valuable across EU, US, Asia-Pacific, and other regions where organizations are building AI capabilities.

AIPL focuses on executing individual AI projects well (planning, risk management, team coordination, governance). GASL focuses on strategic AI direction (market analysis, value creation, roadmapping, organizational transformation). Together, they form a comprehensive AI leadership foundation.

Yes. Renewal requires 25 CPD (Continuing Professional Development) credits in AI project management, delivery, or related areas over the 3-year period. This can include conferences, training, speaking, publications, and relevant work experience.
