- HR Business Partner 2.0 Certificate Program
- Artificial Intelligence for HR Certificate Program

In addition to all 16 certificate programs, it gives you access to AIHR’s broader learning library, including shorter courses and mini-courses that help you rapidly upskill in specific areas without committing to a full program. That can be useful when you want to build targeted skills in areas such as AI for HR Business Partners, prompt design, or HR trends and strategies, while still having the flexibility to go deeper when needed.
It is a strong choice if you want continuous learning, more career direction, and access to practical tools and support as your goals evolve.

It gives teams of two or more access to the full AIHR Academy, making it easier to develop modern, practical HR capabilities across the team. Because it includes everything in Full Academy Access for each user, it is a strong option for organizations that want to combine individual upskilling with team-wide development.
