Ipc International Personnel Certification Association

IPC (the International Personnel Certification Association) is the International Association of personnel certification bodies. Its main aim is to streamline their operating practices, as well as the criteria they use for the certification of personnel. The association drafts specifications for various schemes, taking into account the differences between the practices of each country, thus setting the standard all of its members must observe, in order to provide universally accepted certificates. IPC has a long-term vision of providing added value services to personnel certification bodies and professionals alike and undertakes activities that promote this vision on a global scale. IPC's mission is to promote business improvement through the recognition of individuals who, having demonstrated competence to internationally agreed industry criteria, will provide an effective contribution to business performance, and to provide assurance through the provision of consistent, competent personnel performance worldwide .
