Certification is awarded to candidates when they have successfully completed each individual course. Companies wishing to have a workforce certificated under ICATS must first register with Correx. Upon acceptance, registered companies are expected to initiate training of their workforce within 12 months.

Workplace training is carried out by ICATS certificated trainers who are qualified to train and assess operatives. Training is carried out inhouse and may be undertaken by a certificated trainer employed by an ICATS registered training organisation. However it is more usual for registered companies to nominate experienced employees to ICATS for prior approval as company trainers. Subject to meeting the acceptance criteria, nominees attend a 2 day ICATS Company Trainer course held at various locations in the UK.

Successful completion of the ICATS course by operatives leads to certification by Correx. Trainers and operatives will require re-certification after 3 years and renewal after 9 years.
