Credential Verification
The credential verification system at ibnic.org/verify/ is provided as a public service to allow clients, employers, and professional peers to confirm the validity of an IBNIC credential. Use of the verification system is subject to the following conditions:
Verification results are provided in good faith based on IBNIC’s credential register at the time of the request. IBNIC maintains accurate records but cannot guarantee that all information is current at every moment. If you believe a verification result is incorrect, contact IBNIC directly at info@ibnic.org.
Verification results may not be used as the sole basis for employment, contractual, or legal decisions. They confirm the existence and status of a credential — they do not constitute a reference, endorsement, or guarantee of a practitioner’s conduct or competence beyond what the credential itself represents.
Accreditation Information
Information published on ibnic.org regarding accreditation criteria, fees, processes, and credential architecture is provided for general information purposes. While IBNIC endeavors to keep this information accurate and current, it does not constitute a binding offer or contractual commitment. Accreditation is subject to the formal accreditation agreement entered into between IBNIC and the applicant school or trainer.
Fee information published on ibnic.org reflects IBNIC’s current fee schedule. Fees are subject to change. Confirmed fees for any accreditation application will be set out in the formal accreditation agreement.
