Membership Fees

HOW MUCH ARE THE FEES TO JOIN IAAD ?

As indicated previously, there are no fees during the initial period while the IAAD is being established. From 1^st November 2025,  there will be annual fees charged to cover the costs of running IAAD. To encourage as wide a range of membership as possible, fees are deliberately set very low. There are zero fees for students and discounted rates are applied for unemployed graduates and asssociate members  and for those  applying from Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). The proposed fees are as follows and applicants must  enter their payment method details below but the actual payment will not be taken until 1st Nov 2025  Thereafter fees will be charged annually on the anniversary of the first payment. Applicants for Member and Fellow grades must also complete and submit a brief questionnaire outlining their experience / expertise. This must be submitted along with payment details. Applicants not meeting the expertise / experience requirements for Full Member  or Fellow status will be contacted  to modify the  fee level that will be charged.  

 Student and graduate members  seeking to eventually become Members  must first register as Associate Members  and pay the relevant fees. Later, when they feel they have enough experience ( eg 2 years experience developing AI  products services or agents and 3 references / endorsements as evidence of  successful products developed for clients), they may apply for full Membership . This is done by completing the relevant forms and  paying  the relevant fees to upgrade their status.  Only those who have paid and are up to date with their fees will have access to the member services section of the website.
