How Multiple Modality Credentials Work

ICONIC Board issues credentials at the domain level — your primary credential reflects your core practice area, and each additional credential you hold reflects a verified secondary domain. All active credentials appear on your public practitioner profile and verification record, giving clients and institutional partners a complete picture of your scope.

For example, a practitioner with credentials in both Nutrition & Dietary Therapy and Integrative Wellness Coaching would carry two designations: both display on their profile, their QR verification badge, and their directory listing.

The Process for Adding a Second Credential

  1. 1
    Hold an active primary ICONIC Board credential in your first domain.
  2. 2
    Complete a secondary domain application, documenting your training, practice hours, and experience in the new domain.
  3. 3
    Your application is reviewed against the competency framework for the second domain. The review process is streamlined for existing credential holders — your professional standing is already established.
  4. 4
    Upon approval, both credentials are active simultaneously. Each has its own renewal cycle.

Credential Display for Multi-Domain Practitioners

Your practitioner profile on iconic.pro and in the public directory will list all active credentials. When clients or partners verify your QR badge, they see the full scope. This is particularly valuable for practitioners who want to communicate the breadth of their integrative approach without having to explain it manually in every context.

Start with your primary domain. Even if you practice across multiple areas, begin your application with the domain that most defines your professional identity. Additional domains can be added once your primary credential is active — you don't need to apply for all at once.

When to Credential in Multiple Domains

Multi-domain credentialing makes the most sense when:

If a secondary practice area is minor or occasional, a single primary credential is often sufficient — your profile allows you to describe your full scope in narrative form even without a second credential.
