What is ICxA?
We are more than a credentialing body. ICxA is a platform for education, a bridge across institutional silos, and a catalyst for professional transformation. Our aim is to equip a new generation of leaders – project sponsors, asset managers, engineers, and delivery authorities – with the mindset and tools to govern complex systems with integrity, accountability, and strategic foresight.
To address the global delivery crisis, we are establishing a sustainable career development framework and project lifecycle methodology that enables a dual PAS and ISO certification pathway. This framework positions commissioning not as a procedural step, but as a sovereign discipline – one that restores confidence in how infrastructure is conceived, financed, built, and sustained.
Through ICxA, policy makers gain a lever for systemic reform, financial institutions gain a mechanism for risk assurance and investment clarity, and professionals gain a pathway to lead with evidence, purpose, and performance.
