Competence vs Qualification: What Really Matters in Personnel Certification?
Join Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation, Inc. (PJLA) for an upcoming free webinar! In this webinar, we will dive into the crucial distinction between “competence” and “qualification” in the context of personnel certification. Drawing on key international standards such as ISO/IEC 17024, ISO 19011 and ASTM E2659, we’ll explore how real competence is assessed, why it matters more than academic credentials alone, and what makes a personnel certification program credible and effective.
Whether you’re a certification body, HR manager, training provider, or a professional seeking certification, this session will challenge assumptions, clarify definitions, and provide practical guidance for improving certification schemes and personnel evaluation.
Presented By:
Dr. George Anastasopoulos
