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. Your first exam sitting is included with Professional membership and can be used within your first 12 months of membership. Additional exam sittings are $250 each, and retakes are $125. 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.

Once enrolled as a Professional Member, you will receive access to the ICxA Certification Roadmap to choose what is best for you.
Yes. If you have experience leading and managing system-readiness, you can submit this experience to qualify for higher certification levels much quicker. Pass each exam and submit your experience and then be certified to the level most appropriate based on your experience.

Our certification is based on the ICxA Global Standards, and is backed by industry leaders around the world that consistently deliver successful projects.

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 govern complex projects to successful outcomes.
When you write each exam, there is an exam sitting fee for each attempt. If you do not pass on your first attempt, you may retake the exam at the reduced sitting fee of $125 per subsequent attempt. Certification is earned, not handed out, and we're here to support your leadership journey with clarity and integrity.
