Syatt Certs

Rooted in culture. Built through experience. Measured by transformation.

What Are SYATT Certs?

SYATT Certs are our signature mark of growth.

They’re lived experience, real-world leadership, and cultural grounding, all recognized in a way that matters.

Every hike, swim, cleanup, ski trip, and training session is a touchpoint in transformation. SYATT Certs tracks that growth from the moment someone joins us to the moment they lead independently.
