Certification of Persons

Information

Professional certification is a modern and internationally recognised process through which employees can demonstrate, by sitting examinations, their competence in a fair, objective and reliable manner. 

In today’s highly competitive working environment, where employees and professionals must cope, on the one hand, with the rapid development of the digital transformation (Industry 4.0), technology and industry, and, on the other hand, the specialised fields of technical projects, engineering and information technology, they are called upon to demonstrate their thorough technical expertise, professionalism and superiority over the multitude of colleagues working in the same sector.

Generally speaking, a professional’s competence can be built up through their progression within the formal education system, continuing professional development, as well as professional experience and their career path (non-formal and informal learning). The certification of the knowledge, skills and competences acquired along this path clearly benefits the professional themselves, the organisation that employs them, and society as a whole, as it ensures more effective, reliable and productive work.
