A certification body, not a training school
The Global AI Certification Council (GAICC) certifies the competence of individuals against internationally recognised standards for artificial intelligence and information security. Every GAICC credential is earned by passing an independent examination against a published Exam Content Outline.
The training requirement is provider-neutral
GAICC requires a minimum number of structured training contact hours before the examination — but you choose the provider. GAICC does offer its own optional self-paced course; it is one option among three and is never required, never preferred, and never advantaged in the examination. No provider has access to live examination content, and anyone who trained a candidate is excluded from that candidate's certification decision.
