Personal Certification

Make professional competence clear and transparent

You want to be sure that you are dealing with professionals as an employer or client. Particularly in high-risk activities, you want to be able to rely on the expertise of the people you work with. That’s why various sectors use personal certification as independent proof of competence.

We certify personal competence according to the requirements set by the industry. We do this by working closely with various trade associations that have established personal certification. We supervise the assessment by managing and maintaining certification schemes and by testing and attending exams, among other things. We also participate in meetings of examination committees, and issue certificates to candidates who meet the criteria. DEKRA is accredited for this purpose by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA) in accordance with the ISO 17024 standard.
