Certification guide
What is ICP-SYS?
ICP-SYS is the ICAgile Certified Professional in Systems Coaching. It covers coaching the system rather than the individual: the relationships, dependencies and dynamics between people and teams, and how to work with a whole system as the client.
Who is ICP-SYS for?
Experienced coaches, scrum masters and leaders who keep hitting problems that live between teams rather than inside them.
How do you earn the ICP-SYS certification?
You earn ICP-SYS 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-SYS expire?
No. Like every ICAgile certification, ICP-SYS is a lifetime credential with no renewal fees or continuing education requirements.
How much does ICP-SYS cost?
With Agile Visa the ICP-SYS course is US$999 as a live global cohort, with regional pricing shown at checkout.
Is ICP-SYS worth it?
For the right role, yes. ICP-SYS certifies Systems Coaching 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-SYS is an advanced certification in the ICAgile coaching family, usually taken after team-level coaching credentials such as ICP-ACC.
