Accredited OKR Certification
for Every Level

Our Certified OKR Training is powered by OKR Mentors — a global network of OKR professionals setting the standard for OKR education. Delivered by McKenna Agile Consultants, these accredited programmes turn OKR theory into confident practice.

The training goes beyond theory — every session is grounded in practical application, real-world examples, and interactive exercises. Participants leave not just with a certificate but with a genuine ability to set, run, and improve OKR cycles.

From foundational half-day sessions for individual contributors to multi-day intensive programmes for professional coaches, we have a certification path for every role in your organisation.

Frequently Asked

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the four certification levels?
Each level is designed for a different role in your OKR journey. Practitioner covers the foundations for anyone contributing with OKRs. Leader adds strategy alignment and change management for managers. Champion teaches facilitation and team-level OKR management. Professional Coach is the most comprehensive — covering organisation-wide deployment, coaching fundamentals, and accreditation pathways.
Who delivers the training?
Training is delivered by McKenna Agile Consultants — certified OKR professionals with hands-on experience implementing OKRs across industries. Our programme is accredited by OKR Mentors, a global network of OKR experts setting the standard for OKR education.
Can the training be customised for our organisation?
Absolutely. We deliver in-house training tailored to your context — your existing ways of working, industry, team structure, and strategic goals. We can also combine elements from different certification levels into a bespoke programme.
Is the certification recognised externally?
Yes. All certifications are awarded by OKR Mentors — a respected, globally recognised OKR certification body. Participants receive an official credential that demonstrates their OKR expertise to employers and clients.
Is training available online?
Yes. All certification levels are available both in-person and online via live, interactive virtual sessions. The experience is designed to be equally engaging in both formats, with breakout rooms, live exercises, and real-time facilitator support.
What are the prerequisites?
No formal prerequisites are required for any level. The Practitioner and Leader courses are suitable for beginners. The Champion and Professional Coach courses are ideal for those with some prior OKR experience, but we'll ensure everyone is brought up to speed during the foundational modules.
