Examination Scheduling, Rescheduling, and No-Show Policy
Examination application fees cover the originally selected examination date or testing window. Candidates may not independently reschedule or change their examination dates. All rescheduling requests must be submitted to credentialing@aaid.com and require completion of the appropriate paperwork and payment of applicable rescheduling fees. Changes are not confirmed until formally processed and approved by AAID.
Candidates must provide at least 72 hours' notice before their scheduled examination to request a cancellation or rescheduling. Candidates who fail to provide the required notice or do not appear for their scheduled examination will be considered a no-show and will forfeit their examination application fee.
* $100 of your exam fee is allocated to specialty recognition advocacy. For more than 30 years, the AAID has supported its members' First Amendment right to truthfully advertise bona fide credentials like the AAID Associate Fellow and Fellow.
Annual Membership Dues
In order to maintain your AAID credential, you must be an active member of the Academy. Dues are $695 for Associate Fellows and Fellows and $495 for Academic Associate Fellows; and are billed annually.
