ICONIC · the Independent Credentialing Organization for Natural & Integrative Care.
ICONIC Board credentials are professional and educational credentials. They do not constitute a government license, confer legal scope of practice, or qualify holders to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. ICONIC Board is editorially and operationally independent of all training providers. It shares ownership with ICONIC Academy, an education publisher; Academy programs carry no weight toward any ICONIC credential, are not a prerequisite for any credential, and are not considered in Board review. The Board recognizes no school’s programs, including the Academy’s. The Board maintains its own examination, ethics, and conduct standards.
