ICEA Program Pricing
ICEA's Equitable Pricing Structure
ICEA’s certification pricing structure is a reflection of our goal to improve birth outcomes for all families in the international community.
All prices are based on the World Bank data for Gross National Income (GNI). The dollar is worth different amounts in different countries, so ICEA prices are equitable depending on the location of the member.

In the event a candidate fails the exam, subsequent exams will be charged a fee based on geographic location (equity pricing). ICEA will send the candidate a new examination application via email to retake the test. These candidates will have up to one year in which to pass the examination. An ICEA Certification Candidate may retake the exam as many times as necessary within one year of the first fail date, providing each subsequent retake exam is paid for and repeat guidelines are followed. Examinations ruled invalid will be treated as failed examinations and the candidate will have one year to retake the examination per guidelines.
Online workshop participants are given 260 days to access and complete the workshop. If more time is needed, a $125 fee will extend access for an additional 90 days.
