“Wow, it was undoubtedly one of the best sessions I have ever attended. The key takeaway for me was that if you breathe, if you eat for your living, you should innovate for your living. And innovation and energy go hand in hand, so I am requesting Alexander to give me some of his energy and innovation skills so that I can survive in this world. Thanks a lot, Alexander!”

“We were very glad today to have Mr. Alexander Blass who presented to us key elements on being innovative and related technology. His presentation was really heart-touching, interactive with the audience, and out of the norm of a typical presentation. We really highly recommend Mr. Blass and his presentations for other such events around the globe. Thank you very much.”

“Alexander Blass was the best part of the entire EPIC conference in New York City. I felt as if he was speaking directly to me, and the other audience members felt the same way.

I would highly recommend Alexander Blass for your conference.”

I think it was wonderful and amazing; one of the very best speakers I have heard in the last 10 years.”

“I go to a lot of events year, and hear a lot of speakers. Alexander Blass is by far one of the more dynamic speakers I have ever heard. Quite honestly the message of the presentation was very impressive. Innovation is a tremendous motivation for us internally. It is something we preach within our client base, and I got a lot of points out of this meeting I can share with my clients.”

“He gave us a revelation into the meaning of innovation. He brought it close to our hearts, our minds, and our soul. We had a good 2 days with him. This program is definitely a long lasting insight with impact, that will help you make that journey, of faith in innovation.”

“Alexander’s remarks were really on point, as we are going through an aggressive new strategic planning initiative. We are trying to move the organization to the next level. He really hit points on how staff should be engaged in that and involved, and think differently and more creatively. He also took the time to learn a lot about NFPA to make his comments very relevant to where we are in our history.”

“We had Alexander Blass as a speaker in our university and I think it was one of the best experiences of my life so far. He really connected with us. And I felt like on a personal level, on a social level, it was really relatable. He not only crossed our minds, but even our hearts. It was extremely, truly inspiring. All of us had a spark in us, but Alexander Blass helped us put that spark into a flame.”

“I've just attended a great opening keynote by Alexander Blass, really great session about innovation and how I as a person--but also in relation to my company--can innovate. I think it would be a great, inspirational way to start any events that are focused on innovation and how to disrupt and change the way we think about products, services, marketing, and your organization. Great event. Great keynote.”

“Alexander presented an excellent speech at the [Abu Dhabi] Innovation Forum, helping us to better understand innovation and how it can be integrated in the business sector… One of those areas is sustainability. He linked innovation trends to local and regional issues, connecting the best practices of the West to local issues and bridging those two worlds.”

أنا الرئيس المؤسس لجمعية البحرين لتطوير الابتكار. سعدت اليوم بلقاء ألكسندر بلاس وحضور ندوته. بالطبع كانت الندوة تفاعلية ومفيدة للغاية للحضور. هناك حوالي 180 شخصًا يشاركون ومحتويات الندوة إعلامية وغنية بالمعلومات. أوصي به للطلاب والشركات والموظفين وكل من يسعى إلى تغيير وتحسين وتحسين حياتهم أو أعمالهم بشكل فعال ومعرفة المزيد حول كيفية القيام بذلك

“Acabo de salir de una de las presentaciones a que en realidad me han impactado más en todas estas congresos a los que he venido. Oh, sorpresa que me llevé porque pensé que a modo iba a ser lo mismo acerca de innovación y de liderazgo. Pero esta presentación en realidad llegó a mí. Alexander llegó a la parte intelectual, a la parte de crecimiento profesional y a la parte personal, a esa parte del corazón."

“Telecom companies feel they are too big and complex to innovate at the same rate as some of the challengers. To solve that problem we hired Alexander Blass. He did a keynote presentation for us… and it was exactly what our members needed. It was definitely a breath of fresh air, something they’ve never seen before.

How will these certifications help me?

Receiving either the prestigious Certified Business Innovator™ (CBI™) or Certified Innovative Entrepreneur™ (CIE™) credential from Innovation Institute of America® indicates that you have been trained directly and extensively--via a series of 5 exclusive masterclasses and final assessment exam--by Alexander Blass, founder of a $20 billion industry, grand prize winner of the Top Innovator of the Year Award, and MBA holder from Oxford Business School. This not only enhances your professional profile and CV, but also signals to the marketplace of potential employers, partners, investors, and stakeholders that you possess advanced training in the key areas of business innovation that we feel are most pivotal--whether as an entrepreneur or "intrapreneur" -- and implementing strategic change. This credential dramatically increases your marketability, is instantly shareable on LinkedIn and other social media, may open doors to leadership positions, and provide a huge competitive advantage in pursuing your career aspirations.

How exclusive is this certification?

The Certified Business Innovator™ (CBI™) and Certified Innovative Entrepreneur™ (CIE™) certifications are extremely exclusive and prestigious. These credentials are only issued by Innovation Institute of America® (IIA™), which is the only innovation institute in the world founded by a grand prize winner of the Daily Record's Top Innovator of the Year Award. These masterclass certification programs are personally designed and taught by Alexander Blass, known as the father of crowdfunding™, and a recognized thought leader in the field of business innovation. Backed by a legacy of excellence since 2013, you will receive the same quality training and education that we have provided worldwide for our renowned clients such as IBM, Mastercard, KPMG, Toyota, and Saudi Aramco, as well as universities, entrepreneur groups, government agencies, and associations. Holding one of these certifications signifies your commitment to excellence and aligns you with a network of distinguished professionals.

What if I fail the final certification assessment exam? Am I allowed to retake the test?

Yes, if you are enroled in either the CBI™ bundle or CIE™ bundle then it already includes one additional retake if you do not pass the final certification exam on your initial attempt. This gives you ample opportunity to review the material, refine your understanding, and approach the assessment with renewed confidence. If you fail both attempts and wish to try again, you may contact our support team and pay an exam retake fee for another attempt. This ensures you have every opportunity to achieve certification and demonstrate your mastery of the course content.

Please note that if you pay attention throughout the masterclass training modules, do well on the quizzes at the end of each lesson, and complete the workbook exercises, you should also be able to successfully pass the final assessment exam for certification. It is not designed to confuse or trick you. We want you to succeed!

After I purchase a masterclass or certification bundle, how long will I have access to it?

2 years.

How long does it take to finish the masterclasses and receive my certification (if applicable)?

Completion times vary based on delivery method, individual schedules, and learning styles. The online masterclasses offer a self-paced learning experience, while the live (in-person or virtual) programs are completed over an intensive 1-3 days, depending on which masterclass bundle is selected. If you are enrolled in either the Certified Business Innovator™ (CBI™) or Certified Innovative Entrepreneur™ (CIE™) certification programs, once you successfully pass the final assessment exam, your digitally-authenticated CBI™ or CIE™ badge and certificate will be issued and delivered instantly, enabling you to showcase your achievement immediately both online and offline.

Am I guaranteed to get certified if I complete the CBI™ or CIE™ masterclass bundles?

No. While the CBI™ and CIE™ masterclass bundles provides comprehensive training and preparation, your certification is contingent upon passing their respective final online assessment exam. This ensures that all CBI™ and CIE™ certified individuals meet the high standards of Innovation Institute of America® as a credentialing organization and global leader in the field.

How difficult are the CBI™ and CIE™ certification assessment exams, and where and when do I take them?

The CBI™ and CIE™ certification assessment exams are take entirely online, after you have completed all of the relevant masterclass training modules. They are designed to be rigorous yet fair, reflecting the depth and breadth of the masterclass content taught to you directly by Alexander Blass. They include multiple-choice, true or false, and fill-in-the-blank type questions that require critical thinking and application of the principles you've learned throughout the masterclass training program. With diligent study and engagement with the course materials, you will be well-prepared to succeed!
