What partners can point to
Published reference point
Partners can point to the PSF, PAI-8, public research, and Lab output rather than relying on private sales claims.
Public entry point
AIDA, AIMA, and AIFA are available at no fee, giving new audiences a useful first step before they consider specialist or organisational pathways.
Ongoing programmes
Organisation-level pathways are reviewed annually, so referrals can lead to durable partner relationships where the fit remains real.
Clear audience fit
Practitioners, consultants, MSPs, auditors, and organisational buyers each have a defined route through the same standard.
Material to reference
The research library, assessments, and playbooks give partners substantive public material to cite in their own work.
Inspectable credentials
Credentials are issued against published pathways and can be verified publicly, which keeps partner recommendations concrete.
Frequently asked questions
How does tracking work?
Each affiliate receives a unique referral link. Conversions are tracked via a 60–180 day cookie (depending on tier). Your dashboard shows clicks, conversions, and earnings in real time.
When do I get paid?
Creator and MSP partners are paid monthly via bank transfer or PayPal. Enterprise Referrers are paid net-30 on confirmed engagements.
What counts as a qualified referral?
A new customer who completes a paid purchase through your referral link. Free AIDA completions do not earn commission — but graduates who subsequently purchase CAOP, CAIA, or CAI within the cookie window do.
Can I be an affiliate if I am also a certified practitioner?
Yes. Many of our most effective affiliates are certified practitioners who recommend PAI to their professional networks. There is no conflict of interest.
Is there a cost to join?
No. The affiliate programme is free to join at all tiers. MSP Partner and Enterprise Referrer tiers have activity requirements to maintain active status, but there are no upfront fees.
Can I use paid advertising?
Paid search advertising on our brand name and the term 'Production AI Institute' is not permitted. All other paid promotion — social media advertising, newsletter sponsorships, content promotion — is permitted with prior notification.
