Certification: Offering Multiple Certifications within the same Training

Competence or skills orientation is a key concept in state-of-the-art adult continuing education. Acquired competencies are being certified regardless of how they were acquired.

Hence, it is professional practice to certify different competencies that have been acquired within the same training period. But a problem could arise if such certificates are being issued in a way, that an external party is unable to discern that all the certificates actually refer to the identical training period (days, hours). Without clarifying the issue this would be in violation of our Code of Ethics.

To support our Fellow Member Trainers when issuing multiple certificates we have set up some guidelines.
