ICIC Certification

What the credential covers, who is eligible, and how it reaches you.

What the certification is

ICIC certifies that the holder has completed formal instruction in cryptocurrency investigation and has demonstrated working command of the tracing methodology taught in the Crypto Investigations Academy.

It is a practitioner credential. The standard it reflects is the one applied in casework: a trace is documented so that another investigator can follow it and reproduce it.

IAFCI partnership

ICIC is issued in partnership with the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators, which places the credential inside an established professional body rather than leaving it as a vendor certificate.

The Crypto Investigations Academy is the official pathway to ICIC certification.

Eligibility

Certification is open to anyone who has completed a qualifying Crypto Investigations Academy course. Registration asks which class you attended so completion can be verified against the class roster before the credential is issued.

Completion of a qualifying course
Current active membership in the IAFCI
Name confirmed as it should appear on the certificate
Certification fee paid, sponsored, or arranged directly with IAFCI

Holding the credential requires current active IAFCI membership, which can be obtained through a local chapter. Join IAFCI
