Certification ensures the public that their career management services are being delivered competently, ethically and to defined and verifiable standards by qualified professionals

ICCI Certification is the umbrella credential over all career management services. It is the only certification that is portfolio based, demonstrating professional experience and expertise. It is not a program or series of courses that can be purchased. Individual practitioners may wish to obtain certification in specific practice areas to enhance skills in those areas; however, your ICCI Certification establishes your overall credibility and credentials in the profession.

ICCI certification assures your clients that you adhere to international standards of excellence in the career management field. ICCI certification demonstrates that the certificant has proven quality, experience and integrity, based on years of work in the field.

Our certificants come from a rich variety of business, government, education, non-profit and independent practice backgrounds. They must be currently employed in the career management profession, demonstrate competencies and experience in the field and adhere to an international standard of ethics.

ICCI certification is based on years of experience in the field. For career management professionals who are preparing for their careers, or those who have graduated from certificate programs and are starting out in the field, who wish to demonstrate an interest and intent to become ICCI certified, we offer an opportunity to become a Career Management Associate
