1. Purpose of This Policy

The AIPPC Internship Program is a work-based, performance-evaluated professional internship designed to prepare participants for real-world Project Planning & Controls roles.

This policy exists to protect the credibility, industry value, and ethical standards of AIPPC certifications and internship experience letters.

This is NOT a participation-based or fee-based program.

2. Nature of the Internship

• The AIPPC Internship is a structured professional training and work simulation program
• Certificates and experience letters are awarded only upon successful completion
• Enrollment or fee payment does not guarantee certification or internship completion

3.1 Attendance Requirement

• Minimum 80% attendance is mandatory in:
• Live online / offline sessions

This is NOT an internship experience letter.

❌ No Certificate or Letter will be issued for poor attendance, non-submission, non-responsiveness, or failure to attend evaluations.

5. Non-Compliance & Disciplinary Action

Interns will be marked “Internship Not Completed” if they:

• Repeatedly miss sessions

• Remain unresponsive to official communication
• Expect certification without completing requirements

Such interns lose eligibility for certification, experience letters, and will not be promoted or showcased by AIPPC.

6. Final Completion Window (If Offered)

At AIPPC’s sole discretion, a one-time Final Completion Window may be offered with:

• Strict timeline

Failure to comply results in permanent non-completion status.

7. Zero-Pressure & Zero-Influence Policy

All decisions regarding completion and certification are final and binding.

8. Use of AIPPC Name & Credentials

Interns who do not complete the program are strictly prohibited from:

• Claiming AIPPC Internship experience
• Using AIPPC name or logo on LinkedIn or resumes
• Representing themselves as AIPPC-certified professionals

Violations may lead to formal objection, verification denial, or public clarification by AIPPC.

9. Policy Authority & Updates

• AIPPC reserves the right to update internship standards
• Modify evaluation criteria
• Strengthen compliance and verification mechanisms

Updated policies apply to all current and future interns.
