X-Factor trains its agents through a system of certifications. As an organization, X-Factor recognizes that agents join the group with a wide variety of skills and levels of expertise. As such, the first week of membership is generally spent in intensive training so that new agents can be given the correct certifications and assigned to work in certain areas.


Certifications indicate an expertise in an area. Many people may have skills in more specific areas (ie, picking locks but not dealing with electronic systems, or shooting a particular type of handgun) without having the breadth or depth to become certified, and those skills are used as appropriate.

Each area is organized and overseen by an agent assigned as Area Head, who then will have several other agents assigned to the area in order to assist with training others in the skills needed to gain a certification.
