Frequently asked
How much does the IAPP AIGP certification cost?
The exam costs $649 for IAPP members and $799 for non-members, with retakes at $475 and $625. Maintenance runs on a 2-year cycle: 20 continuing education credits plus a $250 fee that active IAPP membership waives.
Do I need a CIPP certification before AIGP?
No. AIGP has no prerequisites. The CIPP certifications cover privacy law while AIGP covers AI governance, and many privacy professionals hold both since the domains increasingly overlap.
Is AIGP worth it for GRC careers?
AIGP is the most established vendor-neutral AI governance credential, and AI governance requirements are landing in most compliance programs. It pairs naturally with CDPSE or CGRC for GRC roles in AI-adopting organizations.
