A New Gold Standard — For Speakers, By Speakers
The Certified Speakers Program was created to fill a long-overlooked gap in the world of public speaking — the absence of a recognized certification that validates a speaker’s competence and credibility before they step on stage.
For years, countless training programs have helped people learn to speak better, but none have offered speakers a true certification that recognizes their competence, credibility, and skill before they get on stage.
In nearly every other professional field, recognition exists before practice begins — you can become a Certified Trainer, Certified Coach, Certified Life Coach, Certified Hypnotist, or Certified NLP Practitioner before taking your first client. Yet in the speaking industry, no comparable recognition exists for those who have demonstrated the knowledge, preparation, and ability to speak with excellence.
The Certified Speakers Program was created to change that — to establish a clear, professional standard that acknowledges speakers who are ready to be heard, respected, and trusted.
Our Mission
Our mission is to set the global standard for excellence in speaking — a standard that defines what it truly means to be a professional communicator.
We believe every skilled speaker deserves recognition for their preparation, their mastery, and their ability to connect. Certification should not be a reward for popularity or fame — it should be an acknowledgment of competence, credibility, and contribution.
Through a structured process of guided sessions, assessments, and feedback, the Certified Speakers Program helps professionals and business leaders develop the skills and confidence that define world-class speakers — and formally recognizes those who meet the standard.
Why the Certified Speakers Program Stands Apart
Unlike traditional speaker training, this program isn’t about completing modules or attending workshops. It’s about demonstrating your ability to speak with clarity, confidence, and credibility through a structured certification process built by experienced speakers.
This certification validates not only what you know — but how well you can apply it to inspire and move audiences.
When you earn the Certified Speaker designation, you’re not just learning to speak. You’re being recognized as someone who embodies the highest professional standard in communication — a standard defined and maintained by speakers themselves.
A Supportive Community of Peers and Mentors
The Certified Speakers Program isn’t just a certification path — it’s a global community of peers and mentors who believe in raising the standards of the speaking profession.
As you progress, you’ll be guided by Certified Speakers who’ve gone through the same process — professionals who share insights, give feedback, and celebrate your growth.
And when you become certified yourself, you’ll join a network of respected communicators who inspire, teach, and support others in pursuing the same path of excellence.
A Commitment to Continuous Excellence
Earning your Certified Speaker designation is not the end of your journey — it’s the beginning of an ongoing pursuit of mastery.
Certified Speakers remain active members in good standing — continually refining their craft, staying connected, and contributing to the evolution of the speaking profession.
Through continued engagement, Certified Speakers uphold the integrity of the designation and help advance the standards that define professional speaking worldwide.
