Section 1 of 5
Identity and legal status
We looked for the legal entity behind the website on the home, About Us, Become A Member, Apply Now, Contact Us and Shop pages. The site names the business as "IBA – International Blockchain Accreditation" and "The International Blockchain Accreditation Organization (IBA)", and does not name a registered company or display a company number on the pages reviewed. The Contact Us page lists an address in Dublin, Ireland, as the "European Headquarters" under the heading "Our Global Legal Headquarters", and an address in London E14 as the "UK Branch". UK Companies House name searches for "International Blockchain Accreditation" and "IBA Accreditation" did not return a company of those names. We looked for connected businesses on the pages reviewed and did not identify any. Accessed 28 October 2026.

Published information
The Become A Member page publishes three eligibility criteria (education and training, professional experience, and compliance with the "IBA Code of Ethics") and a five-step evaluation process: application submission, application review, qualification verification, feedback and additional requirements, and accreditation confirmation. The home page states that IBA certifies training "according to International Excellence standards". We looked for those standards and for the Code of Ethics and did not find them on the pages reviewed. Pricing is published on the home, Become A Member and Membership Plan pages in US dollars: Practicioner $250 a year, Training Provider $600 a month, and Professional $500 a year. The Shop page lists the same three plans in sterling, at £185, £444 and £370, each shown as reduced from a higher price. The pricing section states "In case of rejection, the accreditation fee will be fully refunded". We looked for terms and conditions, a privacy policy and a complaints procedure in the site menu and footer and on the pages reviewed and did not find them; the addresses /privacy-policy/, /terms-and-conditions/, /terms-of-service/ and /complaints/ returned page-not-found responses. The site is served over HTTPS.
The Become A Member page states "The IBA team will assess your documents and competencies". We looked for an accreditation number for members or training and did not find one stated. The Lookup page offers "Verify A Certificate", and the European Register Verification page offers a check by name and date of birth. We looked for a review or renewal cycle and did not find one stated; two plans are priced per year. ICO register searches for "International Blockchain Accreditation" and "IBA Accreditation" returned no entries; a search by the UK branch postcode returned more than 100 registrations.

The Become A Member page describes "International Recognition – A globally valid certification" and states "IBA follows a rigorous evaluation process". The home page displays testimonials attributed to named individuals and to "GLOBAL AESTHETICS ACADEMY". The Shop page labels each plan "Sale!" with a struck-through original price.
