Certificate Program

If you want to go deep in one HR domain, the Certificate Program Membership is the most focused option. It gives you access to one AIHR certificate program, so you can build practical expertise around a clear career goal instead of spreading your attention across multiple topics.

AIHR currently offers 16 certificate programs. You can select the one that best fits your goals and the direction you want your career to take, such as:

AIHR’s certificate programs are also recognized by leading HR associations, including SHRM, HRCI, HRPA, CPHR, ATD, and CIPD, among others, helping you earn recertification credits while building practical HR skills.

Full Academy Access Membership 

Full Academy Access is the most comprehensive individual option for HR professionals who want to keep building skills across multiple domains. 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. Full Academy Access also includes an interactive HR Career Map, with career path suggestions and role details, learning coaching and career guidance, a worldwide HR community, and exclusive live online events.

  • All 16 certificate programs
  • 85+ courses and mini-courses
  • 12 months of access
  • Expert community and support
  • 60-day money-back guarantee

  • Soft Skills Hub, to strengthen durable skills that support long-term career growth
  • Personal coaching
  • Price: USD 1,850

Team License

The Team License is designed for HR teams that want to build skills together in a structured way. 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.

What sets the Team License apart is the added support for team learning and visibility. In addition to everything included in Full Academy Access, team members also get access to the interactive HR Career Planner, with career path suggestions and role details, while managers benefit from team reporting and analytics. For larger teams, the Team License also includes a dedicated Learning Consultant to help support adoption and learning progress across the team.

With Team License, you get:

  • Everything included in the Full Academy Access, for each user
