It is a certification that demonstrates competence – at an internationally recognised level – of performance of duties and services in a certain area. This is of critical importance for purchasers, users, and the confidence of the public where trust and safety is at stake.
Does it have global recognition?
With the plethora of institutions out there offering training and online courses, choosing the right certification body that will offer credible, qualitative certification services can be a challenge.

Is the Certificate Compliant to Standard?
Your certification by CTCB proves that you are able to operate in accordance with a particular global standard – which is much more than just being in possession of a certificate. It provides demonstrable proof of your skills that meet the standard’s requirements and indicates that the necessary principles have been fulfilled and validated with consistency, professionalism, and impartiality.
