Training Course for Assessors for the Productivity Specialists Certification Program

The assessment process is crucial for certification schemes. It ensures the consistency and quality of schemes, enhances the credibility and reputation of both certified persons and CBs, oversees compliance with rules and standards, and upholds the code of ethics. Aligned with other international certification standards, APO-PS 101:2023 provides guidelines for APO-AB accredited CBs to conduct assessment processes including documentation verification, examination, desktop assessment, and face-to-face panel interviews before issuing certification to candidates.

These processes require capable individuals with skills and knowledge related to the certification scheme. Since the number of CBs is growing and more candidates need to be assessed, the APO continues to offer this course to strengthen accredited CBs, provide updates on the APOPS 101:2023, and share best practices among CBs. Participants are expected to continue serving CBs as internal or external assessors after completion of the training course.
