certificates are achieved through undertaking specific IB-recognized leadership courses. These courses allow you to
build and reflect on the leadership capabilities that are involved in authorization and evaluation at an IB World School
and implementing and sustaining IB programmes.
Individuals certificated in IB leadership inspire and guide school communities to implement and sustain IB
programmes at IB World Schools. IB certificates in leadership acknowledge understanding of the principles and
practices associated with leading in an IB World School and wider IB community.
The IB offers two distinct IB certification experiences in leadership development:
The IB certificate in leadership practice supports educators and administrators who want to improve their leadership
capabilities or career aspirations in an IB context. Participants develop and refine their ability to take on leadership
responsibilities and understand their role in guiding a school through IB authorization and implementation.
The IB advanced certificate in leadership research uses rigorous investigative work to give educators and
administrators a more profound understanding of IB leadership responsibilities and capabilities. It includes
research within the context of IB leadership as well as deep reflection on personal leadership practice.
