AIB has established a new timeline for recertification. Recertification exams will be available during a 3-month window from January 1 – March 31 of each year. This means that your existing certification will be valid until the exam window closes on March 31 of your second year. You will receive an email in the month of January 2020 with instructions.

The recertification exam is comprised of foundational content and information derived from research that has been published since the date of the original workshop. The exam format may include multiple-choice, true/false, and case-based questions.
Prior to taking the recertification exam, participants will be provided with reading materials necessary to prepare for the exam.
A passing score is 76% or better.
A total of two attempts are allowed.
If you do not pass the recertification exam after two (2) attempts, recertification will only be granted if you register and participate in the current certification workshop on the same topic. This serves as an opportunity to more thoroughly learn/review the material alongside AIB faculty and provides you with two (2) more opportunities to pass the exam.
The cost for recertification is $195.

Technically, AIB certification (and recertification) are approved for two (2) years. However, to allow for an annual testing window to occur, individuals taking certification courses for the first time will be granted an extended period of certification recognition (see chart above). Individuals already holding active certification will essentially remain certified for a period of 24-27 months.
AIB has established a generous window of exam recertification and extended original workshop certification timelines. Unfortunately, if you let your certification expire the process for re-activating requires attendance at a currently offered workshop that will allow for you to sit for the exam.
AIB values course feedback from all participants and we strive to maintain high-quality workshops and a respective certification brand. As such, changes to the recertification process were implemented from your suggestions – and we listened!
