Certification of Internationally Recognised Competences

In the EDISON consortium, in the field of electrical safety and quality, we:

  • provide training based on professional knowledge catalogues;
  • test skills with online exams and by reviewing the results with our expert committees;
  • accredit individual professional competences with a certificate issued by the Association for the Development of Knowledge (ADK).

The EDISON consortium partners have been working together for more than 25 years to develop security standards for various competencies and professional qualifications worldwide..

Certificate of Competences

The certificate of competence* is the reference document by which the person proves that he/she has acquired the relevant expertise by passing an examination (applied knowledge test) and that he/she is aware of the novelties in the field of the technical regulation or standard covered by the certificate.

The conditions for issuing certificates of competence and the assessment methods are defined in the examination catalogues approved by the employers’ organisations (associations, chambers, etc.). The online examination system removes a number of administrative barriers and provides an impartial and transparent basis for the certification process.

The validity of the certificate is determined by the frequency of technical and technological changes, which are identified through periodic verification. The validity does not normally exceed three years and may be renewed in accordance with the procedures by which the certificate was obtained.

A valid certificate of competence/qualification is the basis for obtaining a work permit which, in the field of electrical safety, defines the responsibilities between the employee and the employer.

* Competences are the skills that enable an individual to successfully complete work tasks and solve problems in a specific workplace or work area.
