— Common questions —

What partners ask before they begin.

What does a partnership include?+

Accreditation pathways, learning, mentoring, events, professional connections, and opportunities to contribute. We agree the activities and support around your institution's people and priorities, with a named contact to help you get started.

How do university and organisation partnerships differ?+

Universities can offer fully funded Student Accreditation pathways and an agreed allocation of funded faculty and staff places. Organisations receive discounted employee assessment and Accreditation rates, with partner terms for organisation Accreditation. Both connect their people with learning, mentoring, events, and the wider AI community.

Can we start with one team, department, or programme?+

Yes. A partnership can start with a defined group or involve several departments. We agree participation, Accreditation pathways, and activities around the people you want to support and their availability.

Does partnership automatically confer Accreditation?+

People and organisations earn Accreditation through evidence-based assessment against published criteria. Funding and discounted rates cover the agreed fees; applicants must meet the criteria for the level awarded.

How is a partnership different from free membership?+

Free individual membership is open to everyone and provides access to member benefits. A partnership is an agreement with your university or organisation to coordinate support for your people, including funded or discounted Accreditation pathways and activities shaped around your institution.

Do we need to sign the AI Readiness Charter?+

No. The Charter is a separate, optional public commitment. Universities and organisations can sign it alongside a partnership or independently. Signing does not require an assessment and does not confer Accreditation.

Can we explore consultancy, solutions, or Sovereign AI through a partnership?+

Yes. We can discuss AI advisory, engineering, or our specialist language models for UK public services alongside your partnership. Those requirements are scoped and agreed separately, including the relevant delivery or deployment options.
