Events & Certification FAQs
What does it mean to be “certified” in a tool suite?
Certification in a tool suite is the result of endorsement by a facilitator for demonstrated comprehension of content and commitment to best practice application of the tool. Our tool suites require certification to assure applied practice and knowledge transfer for advanced tools.
Which tool suites require certification?
Certification is required for the product families listed below.
- Leadership Architect® 101: Competency Modeling (A prerequisite for all other certifications).
- Voices® 360° Feedback Facilitation and Coaching
- Choices Architect® : High Potential Identification
- Interview Architect®: Competency Based Selection
Please note: Certification in one tool suite does not result in certification in a separate tool suite. For example, becoming certified in Choices Architect® would not grant the ability to purchase Interview Architect® materials since Interview Architect® is a separate certification.
Why is Leadership Architect® 101: Understanding Competencies Workshop a prerequisite for advanced certification?
Leadership Architect® 101 is a prerequisite for advanced certification to provide a solid foundation in the core of our content and research. This improves the quality of advanced courses, as all attendees enter with a common language for development and a foundation in Lominger research and terminology.
What can I do with certification in a Leadership Architect® Suite tool?
When you become certified in a tool suite, you are able to purchase restricted items from the suite and lead best practice applications in your organization according to the uses outlined in your User’s Manual and certification materials. Please note that while you may educate others in your organization in the use of some applications, certification results only from training by one of our facilitators.
The certified individual in an organization is responsible for the proper use of the tool and protection of our copyrights and trademarks. Certification does not grant permission to copy from, reprint, or modify our products. All of these activities require an intellectual property license.

How do I become certified?
There are two options to become certified in a tool suite. First, you may attend a public certification course. These courses are offered throughout the year in Minneapolis, Minnesota near our home office. Certification course schedule
The second option is to become certified by a member of our Global Associate Network. Our Associates conduct private certifications for organizations and also hold open certifications across the United States and throughout the world.
Who can become certified?
Certification is provided to individuals rather than organizations. Should you become certified in a tool suite, you can bring your certification with you into future roles at other companies. Certification lets you purchase restricted products (in that area), apply the tool within your organization, and communicate to and engage others in your efforts. It does not allow you to certify others in the tool.
Can consultants become certified?
Certification opportunities are slightly different for independent consultants or consulting organizations. Consultants can attend Leadership Architect® 101 as well as become certified in Voices® (our 360 feedback tool). Voices® certification allows consultants to deliver 360 feedback and use the instrument via the Global Survey Center. Certification (in these product areas) lets consultants use these tools with all of their clients.
In other instances, a consultant may already be working on a project or engaged with an organization, and be invited to attend a certification by a sponsoring company. The consultant would only be certified for work within that organization and would not be considered certified if working with another client in those product lines. For Choices®/Learning From Experience™ (LFE) Interviewing and Interview Architect® the certification is only valid within that one/specific/sponsoring organization. In addition, when one of our clients invites a consultant to be certified, we ask that another member of the client organization also become certified, to ensure there is a knowledgeable internal resource embedded within the organization.
When registering for certifications, consultants should notify us at LTC-events@kornferry.com so we can process your attendance within the above guidelines. Client letters of engagement for invited consultants must be provided at time of registration for Choices®/Learning From Experience™ (LFE) Interviewing and Interview Architect®.
