AIPx Fast Track
Starting soon? Skip the queue.
With AIPx we confirm at least one interview with a host company within 21 working days of your deposit, instead of the usual eight weeks.
Because AIPx is about speed, we put your timeline first. We still aim for your ideal internship, but the role in that first interview may not match every point on your list.
