According to the official pages reviewed August 29, 2026, AIIC is an individual two-stage competition for full-time secondary-school students in grades 7-12, with no nationality restriction. 2026 registration and qualifiers are closed. CIT I1 is independent English and Python study support, not an organizer course; recheck a new official notice for the next cycle.
Do not treat entry or one competition result as a common admissions portfolio. Start with the international-school academics-and-EC route, then use the science/gifted-school inquiry route where relevant. CIT lessons can run onsite in Apgujeong or online nationwide and overseas, but they do not change or guarantee official eligibility, registration, advancement, awards, or admissions outcomes.
| Course code | I1 · AIIC Track |
|---|---|
| Official eligibility | Individual participants enrolled full-time in secondary school at grades 7-12, with no nationality restriction. Recheck a new official notice for the next cycle. |
| CIT starting point | I0, F1, F2, A1, and A2 are not official prerequisites. Compare the public samples and syllabus with current Python, mathematics, and English evidence, then select only the gaps. |
| CIT study time | About 12 hours is an adjustable lesson example after diagnosis, not an official preparation time or outcome promise. |
| 2026 status | Registration and qualifiers are closed. The official homepage lists June 28 for Asia and July 26 for other regions in 2026; do not assume those dates repeat annually. |
| Learning records | Mock solutions, a technical-English glossary, an error log, and an environment checklist. These are student learning records, not organizer or school submissions unless expressly allowed. |
The organizer's newest notice controls competition facts. These sources describe the public 2026 state and do not guarantee the next cycle's schedule, format, or permitted tools.
Eight weeks is an adjustable CIT lesson example, not the organizer's official schedule or required preparation pathway.
| Week | Topic | Key activities |
|---|---|---|
| W1~2 | AIIC format analysis + cementing English terminology | Analyzing official sample problems, standardizing core ML/DL English terminology, and checking the Python environment |
| W3~4 | Theory round focus (multiple choice·fill-in-the-blank) | Repeated English multiple-choice on F1·F2 core concepts, and analysis of trap patterns in fill-in-the-blank questions |
| W5~6 | Hands-on round focus (computer-based) | Solving scikit-learn/PyTorch mini-problems and writing code for model evaluation metrics (precision, recall, F1, ROC, AUC) |
| W7 | Qualifier full mock #1 | 90 min × 2 rounds full simulation, error analysis |
| W8 | Qualifier full mock #2 + condition tuning | Closing check, plus a rehearsal of laptop, environment, and time management for exam day |
The official materials publish neither a fixed overlap with KOAI or USAAIO nor a required number of extra CIT hours. Compare the public AIIC syllabus and sample format with the student's current Python, mathematics, and English evidence, then address only the gaps. About 12 hours is a CIT lesson example, not proof of eligibility, advancement, or performance.
A Python, mathematics, and technical-English readiness consultation—not official registration or an advancement promise.
