The AgileBrain® Global Certification Board

Established June 2026 · Announced at the AgileBrain Global Forum, July 1, 2026

The AgileBrain Global Certification Board was established by Leading Indicator Systems to safeguard the quality, consistency, and credibility of AgileBrain certification worldwide. As practitioners and trainers earn AgileBrain credentials across a growing number of countries, the Board ensures that every credential meets the same rigorous standard, wherever it is earned.

What the Board does

  • Defines and maintains certification standards for all practitioner and trainer levels
  • Oversees the quality of training delivered by authorized providers worldwide
  • Coordinates external accreditation and continuing-education recognition, including ICF CCE, professional CPD/PDU schemes, and ECTS
  • Resolves certification appeals and protects the integrity of AgileBrain credentials

How the Board works

The Board is an independent oversight body, deliberately lean by design. It brings together internal AgileBrain experts and independent external voices, decides by consensus, and is structured in line with international certification practice (ISO/IEC 17024). At least one member is always an independent external expert, a built-in safeguard of impartiality. The Board sets and protects standards; it does not engage in commercial decisions.

Meet the Board

Five experts. Three countries. One standard.
