Questions
Frequently Asked Questions.
Is the certification issued by a university?
No. The certification is issued by the National Association of Women in AI (NAWAIQ). To support academic rigor, NAWAIQ includes access to external university-level coursework as part of the overall certification experience. These courses support learning but do not issue or co-issue the NAWAIQ certification.
Am I purchasing a university course separately?
No. Participants do not enroll with or pay universities directly. NAWAIQ licenses and absorbs the cost of select external coursework and provides access as part of the certification experience.
Will I be able to choose which academic course I access?
Yes. Participants will be able to select from available coursework options at the time of enrollment. NAWAIQ continues to expand these options over time as part of our commitment to ongoing education.
Why does NAWAIQ include university-level coursework?
Because credibility matters. NAWAIQ certifications are designed to balance:
- Applied workforce implementation
- Leadership and cultural readiness
- Academic grounding recognized across industries
Including external academic coursework allows graduates to leave with both practical tools and respected learning credentials, without fragmenting the learning experience.
Scholarships Available.
NAWAIQ offers full and partial scholarships to expand access.
We believe access and excellence can coexist.
