Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

ICAgile is a leading accreditation and certification body for agile training. ICAgile provides formal, third-party quality assurance of agile courses and course instructors and issues globally-recognized certifications to individuals who complete accredited courses.

ICAgile emphasizes a methodology-neutral, mindset-based approach to agility, focusing on empowering individuals and organizations to adapt and thrive in complex environments.

Unlike framework-specific certifications, ICAgile's programs focus on cultivating an agile mindset, ensuring the knowledge you gain is applicable across various teams and industries.

Earning an ICAgile certification helps you stay relevant with industry trends and can show employers that you have the right knowledge and credentials for the job.

ICAgile collaborates with industry experts to develop comprehensive learning outcomes, maintains rigorous accreditation standards for courses, and regularly reviews courses to ensure they meet high-quality benchmarks.

The first option is to join one of our member organizations that provide training. For example, if you'd like to teach courses in "Agile Coaching", you can see the member organizations who are currently providing courses here under the "Training Providers" section. You can reach out to any training provider to see if they are looking for new instructors. The second option is to become a member organization. You can learn more about that process on our Membership page.

Account Help

If you have attended a ICAgile-accredited class, your learning provider will create your icagile.com account, if you don’t already have one. You will then receive an email from ICAgile with instructions on how to access your account and claim your certification.

Typically learning providers will set up your account within 10 business days of completing the course. If you don’t receive an email from ICAgile within that time frame, we recommend you contact the learning provider to inquire about your account status. We also recommend asking which email your account created with.

If you know your alternate email address(es) or username, request a password reset link. Please note that the link will expire within 24 hours of issuance. If you are unable to recall this information, please submit a request for your icagile.com Login Credentials with information to help us identify and verify your ICAgile account.

As a first step, please try using the password reset link using any information you can recall about your account (e.g., alternate email addresses associated with your account or potential username). Please note that the link will expire within 24 hours of issuance.

If you are unable to recall this information, please submit a request for your icagile.com Login Credentials with information to help us identify and verify your ICAgile account.

Once you log in to your icagile.com account, navigate to “Profile Settings.” Under the “Credly Digital Badges” header, select "Connect my Account with Credly" and Save your changes. Credly will automatically email you with next steps to claim your badge.

At this time, we only offer badges tied to certifications in Credly. Instructor Authorization badges or Official Member Organization badges may be introduced in the future.

If you have more than one icagile.com account, you can merge them into one profile. If you have access to all your icagile.com accounts, log in to icagile.com and navigate to “Profile Settings.” Next, navigate to “Merge My ICAgile.com Accounts,” which will direct you to the account merge wizard.

If you no longer have access to one or more of your icagile.com accounts, please complete this form for assistance.

To prevent creating duplicate accounts in the future, ensure the email you use when registering for a class is a primary or alternate email on your existing account. To edit or add an email to your account, you can do so by visiting your profile settings.

Log into your icagile.com account and navigate to “Profile Settings,” where you can update your name, update and/or add email address(es), change your profile picture, and more. Click “Save All Changes” at the bottom of the page when you are done updating your account.

Please contact info@icagile.com or log in to your icagile.com and use the “Delete My Account” option in your Profile Settings.

Warning: By deleting your icagile.com account, you will delete any record of your ICAgile certifications and you will no longer be able to access them. In addition, ICAgile will not be able to acknowledge or verify your certifications.

Pre-Class Help

Take a quick four-question survey to find out what is the right step in your agile learning journey.

To earn an ICAgile certification, you must satisfactorily complete an ICAgile-accredited class. You are required to be present during all Learning Outcomes covered in the course and must meet the class acceptance criteria as determined by the Instructor in accordance with the Member Organization’s policies to be eligible for certification. Member Organizations may have additional requirements.

No, in order to earn an ICAgile certification, you must complete a class. Some training providers may assess your learning with an exam at the end of the course, but you cannot skip the course and go straight to the exam.

Each ICAgile Member Organization determines the cost of their class. Select a class on the Find A Class tool and then visit the Member Organization website where you can register and view more class-specific information such as pricing, timing, location, and more.

ICAgile provides recommended experience on each certification page to ensure a high-quality learning experience. Each Member Organization has the ability to add specific requirements, too. Visit a certification page and the Member Organization's website to learn more about prerequisites for a class.

ICAgile Certified Expert (ICE) certifications are recognized and respected by industry thought leaders to endorse genuine competence. Visit an Expert Certification page to learn more about the experience required to pursue and earn the certification.

You do not need a membership as a student. There are no membership fees and your account is automatically created after your first class. If you are looking to deliver training, you can learn more about joining as a Member Organization here.

Search for a class using the Find A Class tool on the ICAgile website and click on the class you’re interested in. On the class details page, click on the “See pricing,” button to see pricing and registration instructions.

Most ICAgile certification courses require a minimum of 14 hours, with some courses requiring more time.

Refund policies are determined by individual training providers. Please contact your course provider directly to inquire about their cancellation and refund policies.

As ICAgile is not affiliated with any other certification programs, we recommend reaching out to your instructor or course provider to find out if your course qualifies for continuing education units.

Please review our policies on this topic here.

Credentials Help

To add your ICAgile certification to your LinkedIn Profile:

  1. Log in to your LinkedIn account and add a new item to the "Licenses & Certifications" section of your profile.
  2. Enter the name of the ICAgile certification you earned as it appears on your certificate.
  3. In the "Issuing Organization" section, search for and select ICAgile. Select "This Certification Does Not Expire."
  4. Enter the issue date found on your certificate.
  5. Add your "Credential ID," which is located on the bottom right corner of your certificate.
  6. To add a "Credential URL," you must first be sure your ICAgile profile's privacy settings are not set to "Make my profile private." Enter your name in the search field above. Copy and paste the URL when you find your public profile.
  7. Don't forget to also add your ICAgile certification badge (located in the email you received with the PDF of your certificate) to your email signature, resume, etc.

If you search your name in Verify Credentials and don't see your profile, its likely your profile is set to private. Once you log in to your icagile.com account, navigate to “Profile Settings.” Under the “Privacy Settings” header, verify that your profile's privacy setting is not set to “Make my profile private.”.

If you are able to locate a prospective employee’s record by searching above, the listed credential(s) are valid and current. If no search result is returned, please contact info@icagile.com and provide the certification holder’s written consent to verify their credentials. It’s possible their profile might be set to private and is therefore not visible in the search results.
