What is Personnel Certification?

Personnel Certification is the assessment and formal recognition, through certification, of an individual's competence against objectively identified criteria within a specific subject area.

In today's economy new technology is introduced at a rapid rate, quite often resulting in inconsistency in education and training. The goal of our certification programs is to improve public safety through the development and application of specific worker competency criteria that address the needs of workers, industry, regulators, and the general public. Unlike qualification based programs that consider an individual's education and general qualifications, CSA America's program examines an individual's measurable competency.
