Authorized Innovation Assessor (AInA)®

GInI Authorized Innovation Assessor (AInA)® is GInI’s recognition of individuals who have met GInI’s standard for being capable of conducting innovation maturity assessments on behalf of organizations seeking to secure certification as a GInI Certified Innovative Organization (CInOrg)®.

AInAs are also authorized by GInI to conduct accreditation assessments for Innovation Labs, Business Incubators, and Accelerator Programs, as well as to submit Innovation Endorsement Applications on behalf of businesses. GInI AInAs are the only individuals authorized by GInI to conduct GInI Innovation Maturity Assessments. Organizations seeking to obtain GInI CInOrg certification must have this assessment conducted and submitted by an independent third-party GInI AInA.

This enables GInI to enforce a standard of quality and effectiveness and ensure that all CInOrg assessments are conducted at the highest level of competence, objectivity, uniformity, and transparency. GInI AInAs are also the only individuals authorized by GInI to conduct GInI Innovation Lab, Business Incubator, and Accelerator Program accreditation assessments, as well as to submit Innovation Endorsement Applications on behalf of businesses, which similarly allows GInI to ensure an appropriate level of objectivity and transparency in these processes as well.

To be eligible to register for the AInA exam, an individual must meet the following criteria:

  1. Hold a university degree.
  2. Have a minimum of ten years of total professional experience.
  3. Hold an active GInI certification - either as a CCInO or as a CInS.

In addition, the individual must show proof of the following:

  1. Ownership of the GInI Applied Innovation Master Book®.
  2. Completion of a minimum of 24 hours of education relating to the AInA certification, provided by a GInI Authorized Training & Assessment Provider (ATAP)® and delivered by a GInI Master Assessor.

At GInI, we provide two comprehensive learning options to cater to your preferences:

  1. Self-Study: Upon acquiring the AInMB, you can seamlessly prepare for the exam at your preferred pace.
  2. Instructor-Led Learning: Opt for additional guidance by enrolling in a course offered by one of our accredited providers in your vicinity.

Apply for and pass the AInA exam:

The AInA is a 150-minute exam with 150 multiple-choice questions and a passing score of 75%.

Curious about GInI's retake policy? Here's what you need to know:

Retake Attempts:

There's no limit on the number of exam attempts you can make. However, each attempt requires payment of the registration fee.

Waiting Period:

Once you pass an exam, you must wait for two years before retaking the same exam. This waiting period applies to the identical exam version.

Updated Exams:

If an exam is updated with a new guide and series code, you can attempt the new version without waiting for the two-year period.

At GInI, we understand that every learner is unique, and while some individuals prefer structured training courses, others thrive through self-study. We offer flexibility in your certification journey, allowing candidates to self-study for most GInI exams.

Self-Study Eligibility:

For most GInI certifications, candidates are indeed allowed to pursue self-study independently without the requirement to attend an accredited training course. This approach empowers individuals to tailor their study methods to their preferences and schedules.

The Exception: Authorized Innovation Assessor (AInA)® Exam:

The Authorized Innovation Assessor (AInA)® certification is a unique case within our certification offerings. To maintain the highest standards of competence for this certification, GInI requires candidates to complete a mandatory 24 hours of education specifically related to the AInA certification. This education must be provided by a GInI Authorized Provider and delivered by a GInI Master Assessor.

Getting Started with Self-Study:

If you're considering self-study, here's a simple guide to get started:

  1. Choose Your Certification: Visit our "Professional Certification" page to explore the various certifications GInI offers. Select the one that aligns with your career goals and interests.
  2. Access Study Materials: GInI provides recommended study materials and exam guides for each certification. These resources will be your primary tools for self-study.
  3. Create a Study Plan: Develop a study plan that outlines your study schedule, goals, and milestones. This will help you stay organized and motivated. Practice, Practice, Practice: Utilize practice exams and sample questions to assess your knowledge and readiness for the actual exam.
  4. Register for the Exam: Once you feel confident in your preparation, visit the GInI online store to register for the exam of your choice.
