The International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) is an internationally recognised, independent accreditation and certification body. ICAgile focus on advancing high-quality agile learning by ensuring courses align with learning objectives as defined by industry experts.  

Accreditation: ICAgile accredits through a series of interviews, course reviews and a matrix assessment against ICAgile’s defined learning objectives. This accreditation then provides international recognition for organisations and their courses and trainers who have aligned their material to the ICAgile learning objectives as defined by industry experts (50+). This helps you to know that the training you are looking to invest in is internationally recognised.

ICAgile offers two levels of certification: professional and expert. The professional-level certifications recognise knowledge acquisition and the expert-level evaluates a learner's competency and proficiency.
