Intellectual Property
All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, institutional marks, PDF documents, and design elements, is the property of the Global Institute of Behavior or its content contributors and is protected by applicable intellectual property law.
The GIB name, seal, and credential marks are institutional identifiers. Their use — including on resumes, professional profiles, or any public-facing materials — is subject to the conditions set out in the credential holder agreement issued to certified practitioners. Misrepresentation of credential status or unauthorised use of GIB marks may result in credential review and/or legal action.
Nothing in these terms confers any licence or right to use the Institute's marks beyond what is expressly provided in the credential holder agreement.
Credential Verification Tool
The online credential verification tool is provided as a convenience to allow enquirers to confirm the active status of a GIB credential. The demonstration tool on this website uses sample registry data for illustrative purposes only.
For authoritative verification of any GIB credential, including for employment screening, regulatory, or legal purposes, contact the Institute's registrar directly at enquiries@globalbehavior.org. The Institute accepts no liability for decisions made solely on the basis of the online verification tool without direct confirmation from the registrar.

The Institute endeavours to ensure that information on this website is accurate and current. However, institutional information, certification requirements, fee structures, and programme details are subject to change. The Institute does not warrant that information on this site is free from error or omission.
Where specific certification requirements or eligibility criteria are relevant to an individual's application, candidates are advised to confirm current requirements directly with the Institute or an approved training organisation before submitting an application or making professional commitments on the basis of website content alone.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Global Institute of Behavior excludes all liability for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, information or tools provided through this website.
The Institute is not responsible for the content of external websites linked from this site. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience and do not constitute endorsement.
