What's the difference between the Advanced and Foundational certifications?

Can I start with the Foundational and move to the Advanced later?

Absolutely. Many participants begin with the Foundational Certification to grasp the core LEGO® Serious Play® methodology, and later upgrade to the Advanced Certification to dive deeper into strategy-level facilitation.

If you’re not yet sure whether to commit to the Advanced level right away, you can enrol in Foundational now and upgrade when you’re ready — your investment supports both paths.
