What is AIDP™ Accreditation?

AIDP™ (Accredited Internal Development Program) is an institutional accreditation awarded to organisations that implement standardised development programs or external training accredited by the BDA BoCK™. This accreditation confirms that an organisation actively fosters a learning-driven environment based on a structured approach to business development roles, principles, and career pathways.


AIDP™ helps position the organisation as a development-driven entity — bringing credibility, structure, and alignment with international standards that are recognised across 90+ countries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can multiple internal programmes be accredited?
Yes. Multiple programmes can be accredited under the same organisation, with discounted fees for additional programmes. Contact BDA for institutional pricing details.
Does AIDP™ authorise delivering official BDA courses?
No. AIDP™ accreditation recognises the quality and alignment of your internal programmes with BDA BoCK™ standards. It does not authorise the delivery of official BDA certification courses — that requires ECP™ or PDP™ partnership.
Is it mandatory to have BDA-certified trainers?
Preferred but not required. Having BDA-CP™ or BDA-SCP™ certified professionals on your team strengthens the application, but it is not a mandatory requirement for AIDP™ accreditation.
Is there a minimum programme length or scope?
No fixed minimum size. However, the programme must have clear learning objectives, a structured curriculum, and defined assessment mechanisms to qualify for evaluation.
