Verify an SAI Credential
“Anyone can claim a credential. What matters is whether the credential was actually earned through demonstrated diagnostic capability. SAI credentials are designed to represent more than course completion—they require application, assessment, and demonstrated competency at the level of the credential earned. If someone represents themselves as SAI-credentialed, verify it. The credential should mean something. Make sure they earned it.”
Lawrence M. Schneider, Founder & CEO, Schneider Axiom Institute

Credential Verification Status
RECOGNIZED
REVOKED
SAI credentials do not expire simply because time has passed. Once earned, a credential remains recognized unless it is subsequently revoked by SAI under applicable credential or conduct standards.
Why Verify?
SAI credentials represent demonstrated competence—not course completion alone.
Verification provides a direct way to confirm with SAI that the individual completed the requirements for the credential claimed and that the credential remains recognized by the Institute.
✓ They completed the curriculum required for the credential.
✓ They demonstrated the competency required at that credential level.
✓ Their credential was earned and remains recognized by SAI.
WHAT CREDENTIAL VERIFICATION DOES — AND DOES NOT — CONFIRM
Credential verification does not constitute an SAI endorsement of a particular engagement, guarantee future performance, or establish that the credential holder is the right professional for a particular business situation. Verification confirms the credential earned; it does not represent a new assessment of the credential holder’s current performance or capability.
Holding a verified SAI credential does not mean that the credential holder is a member of the SAI Professional Referral Network. Referral Network participation is a separate eligibility and selection process.
