In order to elevate TRIZ to a larger stage, the development of a viable certification program is required. Therefore, the Altshuller Institute (AI), spearheaded this initiative defining a universal set of guidelines so that TRIZ terms will have the same meaning regardless of where the TRIZ user was trained.

To this end, Victor Fey, the Institute's Education Director and the Certification Board (CB) have begun to develop guidelines for certification. The first phase was to indentify and compile a body of TRIZ “classical” knowledge that would be accepted by AI, MATRIZ and ETRIA. Victor Fey from AI and Simon Litvin from MATRIZ spend many months to develop this mutually acceptable body of knowledge.
