Program Overview

Introducing Calm Tech Pre-Certified™

calm-tech-institute-precertified-black-transparent.png

While we've certified innovative products already on the market, we also see the need to help shape products before they're fully developed – catching potential issues early on, rather than after launch.

 

For the first time, companies and organizations will be able to work with the Calm Tech Institutes from the inception/early design stages of a future product to ensure it follows standards that center human attention and time.​​​​

Pre-Certification Process

Calm Tech Institute can review your products before they launch*. 

1. Schedule a call with us to see if your product would be a good candidate.

2. Provide us with a product or prototype for review. 

3. We'll ask clarifying questions and provide a response with any changes you needed to be pre-certified. 

4. Once complete, we'll send a certificate and logo materials for marketing, product and website use. 

*Most product reviews can be completed in less than two weeks. CTI is happy to sign NDAs for products under development. CTI members can travel on-site for more confidential product reviews. Pre-Certification applications require a small admin fee for processing and review.
