International Certification Alliance (ICA)
The next evolution of learning and certification
We are dreaming big. And we have a new name to match.
ICAgile set a new standard for agile learning, shifting the focus from frameworks and mechanics to mindsets, capabilities, and practical application.
ICA carries that legacy forward, creating a broader home for the skills and capabilities today’s workforce needs to be ready for tomorrow’s challenges.
And we’re not building it alone.
We need you—the global community of practitioners and educators who are already advancing this work in the world.
From Agile to Tomorrow-Ready
A broader model. A familiar foundation.
We say Tomorrow-Ready™, not future proof, because no one can predict or protect against every possible future.
But being ready for tomorrow? That’s entirely within our grasp.
Our Tomorrow-Ready certifications span five research-backed disciplines that help move people and organizations from where they are to where they need to be next.
Within these disciplines, you have the freedom to design learning that connects your expertise to an expanded market.
From Standardized to Modular
Learning as individual as you.
ICA now offers modular certification.
Instead of one set of common learning objectives, every ICA certification has
- 1 Core credential, with shared learning objectives plus
- 2 Specialized credentials, chosen from a variety of possible electives
Now, you can showcase your particular expertise to meet learners’ unique needs.
Learner A
ICP-FAC
• Facilitation Core Credential
+ Visual Facilitation Credential
+ Large-group Facilitation Credential
Learner B
ICP-FAC
• Facilitation Core Credential
• High-Stakes Facilitation Credential
• Executive Facilitation Credential
Learner C
(Credential Only)
• Executive Facilitation Credential
From Fixed to Expandable
A certification catalog that can grow and flex.
The best ideas come from collaboration and community. That’s why we created a Certification Lab that makes room for custom certifications.
Visit the
ICA Certification Lab, a space to experiment with emerging content and learning.
Bring your ideas, test what resonates, and develop an ICA-recognized certification or credential based on your existing content.

We didn’t build a trusted global model for agile learning alone. We did it with the collective wisdom of our community.
Now, we all have the opportunity to carry that legacy forward,
expanding that model for what work demands next.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why the departure from ICAgile?
The world of work is changing rapidly. So are the skills organizations and professionals need to succeed. As agility expands into leadership, product, business operations, AI-enabled work, and organizational transformation, ICAgile is evolving to better support modern learners and workplaces.
This evolution reflects our continued commitment to helping individuals and organizations build adaptable, human-centered capabilities focused on tomorrow-ready skills that create lasting impact.
Agility matters more than ever. Organizations today face constant change, increasing complexity, evolving customer expectations, and accelerating technological disruption in AI and beyond. Agility helps individuals, teams, and organizations respond effectively by fostering:
• Adaptability and resilience
• Customer-centric thinking
• Collaboration across functions
• Faster learning and decision-making
• Sustainable ways of working
These capabilities are essential skills for tomorrow-ready organizations.
Will the current ICAgile portfolio and certifications remain?
Yes. All existing ICAgile certifications remain fully valid and recognized.
Learners who have earned ICAgile certifications do not need to retake courses or update anything as part of this transition. Existing learning pathways, badges, and achievements continue to represent valuable professional accomplishments.
Current course offerings will continue to be supported as we introduce new experiences and learning opportunities over time.
What is the scope of the evolution to ICA?
This is more than a simple relabel or visual refresh.
ICAgile is evolving to better reflect the broader skills and capabilities needed in today’s world of work. While agility remains foundational, learners can expect in the upcoming months an expanded catalog of offerings and new ways of earning certifications. Member Organizations can expect expanding benefits and new tiers of service.
