An Accredited Innovation Training Program (AInTP)®

An Accredited Innovation Training Program (AInTP)® is a training program – typically either a single course or a relatively short series of related courses – that focuses on or touches on some facet of business innovation – and that has been fully verified and subsequently accredited by the Accreditation Center of the American Academy of Innovation & Entrepreneurship (AAI&E).

There is significant value in business and academic organizations having their Innovation and Innovation-related training programs accredited by AAI&E as an AInTP®.

AInTP® accreditation assures all affected stakeholders that the program has been thoroughly assessed by AAI&E and therefore its caliber and scope conform fully to AAI&E’s demanding accreditation standards. No other organization in the world prescribes this same level of accreditation standard in the field of business innovation as does AAI&E. Consequently, accreditation by the AAI&E Accreditation Center is the global standard for the accreditation of Innovation Training Programs.

Innovation Training Programs that have achieved accreditation with AAI&E will bear AAI&E’s AInTP badge – AAI&E’s seal of assurance that the program is of a high caliber and is being delivered with excellence. They will also have their official Certificates of Completion issued by AAI&E.

This offers significant value, because Accredited Innovation Training Programs attract more students than do non-accredited programs, resulting in measurable economic value to the organizations delivering these programs.

AAI&E remains fully committed to pursuing excellence and continuous improvement in all activities relating to the AAI&E Accreditation Center and the AAI&E Accreditation Program. The AInTP Guidebook provided on this page sets forth the policies, procedures, and standards used to assess the quality and scope of individual Innovation Training Programs, and to thereafter accredit them to AAI&E’s standards.

Organizations wishing to pursue accreditation of their Innovation Training Programs with AAI&E must submit to AAI&E the AInTP Application with full supporting evidence. The AAI&E Accreditation Center will then undertake a formal assessment of the program, after which it will make its determination of the program’s accreditation worthiness.

Innovation Training Program Accreditation is valid for the life of the program, so long as the organization continues to submit its Annual Report to AAI&E each year, and its re-application every other year for the program’s biennial reassessment review (used to ensure its ongoing compliance with AAI&E’s eligibility requirements).
