ICxA Membership FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about our membership options and registration process.

No. Outcome Assurance is not limited to technical roles. If you’ve been involved in managing, coordinating, or leading system or operational readiness — regardless of your title — you qualify. Membership and certification recognizes leadership, responsibility, and real-world contribution, not just job titles or degrees.
When you join as an ICxA Professional Member, you get access to the ICxA Certification Roadmap and certification exams. There is an exam sitting fee for each certification exam attempt when you are ready to progress in your career. You're in control and can choose the path that is right for you.
Each level requires knowledge and experience. Once you have passed the exam and achieved the required experience, you progress to the next level. There is no time limit to complete each level. When you earn each level, you achieve the next ICxA Certification Level, which is displayed on the ICxA website and verifiable on your certificate. Once enrolled as a Professional Member, you will receive access to the ICxA Certification Roadmap to choose what is best for you.

Absolutely. ICxA is the global authority on system-readiness leadership and Outcome Assurance. Our certification is based on the ICA Global Standards, and is recognized by owners, contractors, and integrators around the world.

You’ll receive a digital certificate, validated with current ICxA membership, a professional designation, and official recognition on the ICxA global registry (displayed on website). But more importantly, you’ll join the ranks of outcome leaders — professionals trusted to deliver complex projects to completion.
When you write each exam, there is an exam sitting fee for each attempt. If you don't pass the exam on the first attempt, you can pay a reduced fee for each subsequent attempt. Certification is earned, not handed out, and we’re here to support your leadership journey with clarity and integrity.
Yes. ICxA certification is maintained through annual or monthly membership. This gives you ongoing access to certification and exams, global standards, and membership benefits. It also supports the continuous improvement of the ICA Global Standard and professional community.
