Information for the exam candidate
The examination for a personal certificate can be taken through a (personal) certification body which is recognised by the Council for Accreditation. The examination is conducted by examination bodies licensed by the certification body. After successful completion of the exam, a personal certificate will be issued that is valid for 5 years. The exam consists of a theoretical and a practical exam. The exams are conducted in accordance with the ISO-17024 standard. The rules regarding the exam are set out in the Examination Regulations.
The SVWOH manages the certification schemes and the final and test targets based on which the candidate can be examined.
The exams are developed, set and maintained by the SVWOH. When an examination candidate passes the theoretical and practical examinations, he/she receives a personal certificate from the certification body. This certificate is registered by the SVWOH in the Central Diploma Register (CDR) SSVV.
