Your profile
Question 1 of 9
Experience
Have you ever worked directly with a real AI or algorithmic system — examining how it behaves, identifying risks or impacts, and contributing to findings?
This could be in any professional context. The work doesn’t need to have been called an ‘audit.’
Experience
Have you produced or contributed to a documented output from that work — a report, assessment, set of findings, or recommendations?
This is what distinguishes hands-on audit work from general AI involvement.
Experience
How would you describe the breadth of your hands-on experience?
Think about the range of systems, sectors, or types of work you’ve been involved in.
Knowledge & training
Do you hold any formal qualifications relevant to algorithmic auditing?
This includes degrees, professional certifications, or specialised training in areas like AI governance, data science, law, audit, privacy, or risk.
Knowledge & training
How would you describe your understanding of both the technical and legal/social dimensions of AI systems?
Algorithmic auditing requires bridging these two worlds. You don’t need to be an expert in both, but some grounding in each matters.
Professional context
Which of the following best describes your professional background?
Select the closest match — your background doesn’t need to be a perfect fit.
Professional context
How long have you been working in a field relevant to algorithmic auditing or AI governance?
This includes adjacent roles — you don’t need to have been an ‘auditor’ the whole time.
Professional standing
Are you connected to the algorithmic auditing or AI governance community?
Think about memberships, networks, events, or organisations you’re part of.
Professional standing
Have you contributed to the field beyond your day job — through teaching, publishing, mentoring, or other knowledge-sharing?
This could include articles, courses, talks, mentoring junior practitioners, or contributing to standards bodies.
Your profile looks strong
You sound like a strong candidate for CAIA
Based on what you’ve shared, your profile aligns well with what the CAIA credentialing programme looks for. You have hands-on experience, relevant knowledge, and professional standing in the field.
The full application is a rigorous process — it includes a detailed portfolio review and a peer interview. But based on this snapshot, you have a solid foundation to build on.
Parts of your career you might not think to put on a credentialing application may count. The process is designed to recognise the full breadth of what practitioners in this field actually do.

You’re building toward it
Your profile is developing — you may be closer than you think
You have relevant experience and background, but there are areas where your profile could be stronger before applying for CAIA. That’s completely normal — this is a field that is still professionalising, and many strong candidates are in exactly this position.
We’d encourage you to get in touch. There may be parts of your experience that count toward credentialing that you haven’t considered, and we can help you understand where you stand.

Not quite yet
You’re at the beginning of this journey — and that’s a great place to start
Based on your answers, your profile isn’t quite at the level CAIA requires yet. But the field of algorithmic auditing is growing fast, and there are clear pathways to build toward it.
