ICAI Runs AICA Level-1 AI Certificate Batches Across Gurugram, Bhubaneswar, Pune and Mumbai on August 21-23

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India is running multiple Certificate Course on AI for Chartered Accountants (AICA-Level-1) batches during 21-23 August 2026, giving members in several cities a current opportunity to participate in ICAI's structured artificial-intelligence training programme.

Which AICA batches are running now?

ICAI's official AI in ICAI course page lists Batch 825 in Gurugram and Batch 826 in Bhubaneswar for 21, 22 and 23 August 2026. The same official page also lists Batch 857 in Pune and Batch 860 in Mumbai for the same three dates.

The course listing shows a fee of ₹5,000 plus GST for these AICA-Level-1 batches. The official page provides a separate “More Details” link against each batch, which members should use to confirm the batch-specific venue, registration status and any operational instructions before attending.

Why the programme matters for CAs

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being applied across accounting, audit, tax, compliance, analytics and finance workflows. ICAI's dedicated AI initiative gives members a professional-institute route to build practical familiarity with the technology rather than relying only on generic technology courses.

The current late-August schedule is also broader than a single-city programme. ICAI's course page shows several further Level-1 batches for September and October 2026 across cities including Bengaluru, Surat, Gandhinagar, Vasai, Jaipur, Delhi, Chennai, Vadodara, Gurugram and others. Members who cannot attend the 21-23 August batches therefore have additional official batches to consider.

What interested members should check

- Confirm the exact city and batch number on the official AICA Level-1 page.

- Open the batch-specific details before making travel or attendance arrangements.

- Check whether seats remain available and whether any additional eligibility or participation instructions apply.

- Use only ICAI's official AI portal for registration and batch information.

Key takeaway

ICAI currently has AICA-Level-1 AI certificate-course batches running in Gurugram, Bhubaneswar, Pune and Mumbai from 21 to 23 August 2026, with the official course page listing a fee of ₹5,000 plus GST. CAs considering AI-focused professional upskilling should verify the relevant batch details directly on ICAI's AI portal.
