Plan for the weekly live session plus dedicated applied work on your deliverables. The exact workload varies based on the complexity of the initiative you bring into the program. Every live session is recorded, but ACXL™ is an applied credential — the work outside the session is an important part of earning it.

No. ACXL™ is a leadership and execution credential, not an engineering course. You won't build or fine-tune models. You'll learn to decide, build, adopt and measure — the execution capabilities that determine whether AI programs succeed.

You should be in — or moving toward — a role that leads or shapes AI initiatives: program or project management, PMO, product, delivery, change, technology leadership, consulting, or an executive role accountable for AI outcomes. No specific certification is required.

We assign a full brief drawn from a real one, and note it on your assessment record. The capstone is never a hypothetical scenario.

Yes. ACXL™ is an AI execution credential, so appropriate use of AI tools is expected. What matters is your judgment. During the capstone defense, you must be able to explain and defend the decisions, recommendations and evidence in your submission — regardless of which tools supported the work.

You receive the full scored rubric with written comments on each criterion. One resubmission, no fee, within 90 days — only the referred criteria are reassessed.

If the resubmission is also referred, you may re-enter any cohort within 12 months at 50% of list price. We'll tell you plainly whether we think that's worth your money.

If the program isn't the right fit, you can request a full refund within the first seven calendar days of your cohort — before the majority of the material and toolkit have been delivered. Transfers to a later cohort are available within 12 months, requested at least seven days before your scheduled start date.

Yes. We run private cohorts and tailor The ACTIVATE Method™ to your organization's maturity and goals — from executive workshops to full team programs. Visit corporate training or start a conversation and we'll design the right engagement.

ACXL™ cohorts begin monthly. The next starts January 12, with applications closing December 29. Seats are limited to 20 per cohort to protect the live, practitioner-led experience — you can choose your preferred start date in the application below.
