FAQ

How is the 5-Week Cohort Course different than the other AIT courses

The 5-Week Cohort Course combines flexible, self-paced online coursework with weekly live virtual sessions led by ATA faculty and guest experts.

Unlike the fully self-paced course, it includes instructor guidance, exam preparation, and interaction with fellow learners, all without requiring travel to an in-person seminar.

Course Payment Options

Learners may pay all upfront or pay $99 down and the remaining balance ($500) at the start of the course (first day of cohort).

AIT Credential Expiration and Renewal?

The AIT certificate expires after three years. You may renew your certificate by passing the current AIT Renewal Exam online.

Are the virtual sessions required?

No, the live virtual sessions are not required, but attendance is highly encouraged. They provide valuable opportunities to interact with ATA faculty and guest subject-matter experts, ask questions, and connect with fellow learners. All sessions are recorded, and viewing links are provided afterward.
