Introduction

Exemplar Global is a Personnel Certification Body (PCB) accredited by the Joint

Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS- ANZ) as meeting the requirements

of the international standard for personnel certification bodies, ISO/IEC 17024:2003 ‘General

Requirements for bodies operating the certification of persons’ . Certification with ExemplarGlobal provides certified persons with an internationally-recognized qualification.

ISO 17024 requires a PCB to define specific competencies for personnel seeking

certification and to ensure that each candidate demonstrates these competencies, both prior

to certification and as part of the ongoing surveillance and re -certification processes. For

most schemes developed by Exemplar Global, required competencies are identified as

knowledge competencies, skill competencies, personal attributes, and additional

qualifications.

The most effective method of demonstrating skill competencies is to observe the candidate

performing the required tasks, called a Skill Examination. The certification requirements for

each scheme define the specific competencies to be examined by a Skill Examiner, who is a

person certified by Exemplar Global as competent to conduct the Skill Examination and is

independent of the candidate being examined.

Exemplar Global seeks the application from personnel with the appropriate competencies to

undertake Skill Examinations for candidates in all personnel certification schemes across all

regions of the world. Exemplar Global certified Skill Examiners are considered as sub-

contractors to Exemplar Global for this task.

Auditors who wish to become certified by Exemplar Global should review this document and

the Personnel Certification Guide to better understand the certification requirements prior to

applying for certification.

If you have any remaining questions regarding personnel certification, please contact an

Examiner in your region’s Principal Office. Exemplar Global Principal offices are located in:
