Personal certification that proves real competence.
ERCA provides personal certification across many fields and industrial sectors, covering a variety of employment positions. Each certification is based on a published certification scheme — a precise description of the minimum skills and knowledge a certified person must hold.
Two ways to become ERCA-registered
Certification requirements
Each scheme states the exact minimum requirements for the applicant. The basic criteria are:
Education
Minimum level of education for the role.
Work experience
General experience plus experience in the specific field.
Audit experience
Demonstrated auditing practice (not required for certified managers).
Training
Completion of relevant qualified training.
If a requirement is missing, you receive a provisional certification; once all requirements are demonstrated, you obtain a full, regular Certificate.
