IABC Business Consultants' Certification Key to Business Excellence

The certification of business consultants run through the Institute of Accredited Business Consultants (IABC) is an assurance of excellence for New Zealand business owners.

The IABC recommends that business owners seeking advice and assistance appoint IABC-certified practitioners in the first instance.

Certification is awarded only after consultants have passed a number of assessments which test their experience, their knowledge, the quality and relevance of their advice and the success they have achieved for clients. Their professional qualifications and commitment to best practice standards are also measured.

Only those business consultants who demonstrate the required levels of excellence are awarded the national title of NZ Certified Business Consultant (NZ CBC). All Certified Consultants must commit to the IABC code of ethics which is strictly enforced.

The IABC also awards international certification but Consultants first have to complete Auckland University of Technology's APEC-IBIZ Training and Certification Programme, which covers 60 competencies that prove they can fulfil their role effectively.
