Certification guide
What is ICP-BAF?
ICP-BAF is the ICAgile Certified Professional in Business Agility Foundations. It covers what business agility means beyond IT: value-driven ways of working across the whole organisation, and the mindset shifts that let a business sense and respond faster than its market.
Who is ICP-BAF for?
Professionals in any function, from operations to finance to HR, whose organisation is pursuing agility beyond software teams.
How do you earn the ICP-BAF certification?
You earn ICP-BAF by completing an accredited 14 hour live course with an ICAgile member organisation such as Agile Visa. There is no exam: ICAgile certifications are assessment-based, earned through participation in the exercises and activities of the class. The credential is lifetime and never needs renewal.
Does ICP-BAF expire?
No. Like every ICAgile certification, ICP-BAF is a lifetime credential with no renewal fees or continuing education requirements.
How much does ICP-BAF cost?
With Agile Visa the ICP-BAF course is US$999 as a live global cohort, with regional pricing shown at checkout.
Is ICP-BAF worth it?
For the right role, yes. ICP-BAF certifies Business Agility Foundations competency through assessed live practice rather than an exam, it is internationally recognised through ICAgile, and it is a lifetime credential, so the fee is paid once and never again. It is worth least if you only want a badge: the value comes from the capability the live course builds. The "who it is for" section above is the honest test.
Where it sits in the ICAgile tracks
ICP-BAF is the entry certification of the ICAgile business agility family.
