            Apply for Partnership

            Overview

            Standardization Hub International (SHI) offers a structured partnership model for personnel certification bodies seeking to implement competency-based certification schemes within their operations.

            As a scheme owner, SHI develops and maintains certification frameworks covering defined roles, competency requirements, assessment structures, and certification processes.

            Through this partnership, certification bodies can adopt SHI schemes, align with a consistent framework, and deliver certification services while maintaining independence in their certification activities.

            Partnership Approach

            The partnership is designed to support certification bodies in expanding their certification offerings through structured and professionally developed schemes.

            SHI provides the scheme framework, including defined certification requirements, competency criteria, and assessment structures, while partner certification bodies are responsible for delivering certification activities in accordance with their systems and applicable requirements.

            This ensures a clear separation between scheme ownership and certification delivery, maintaining integrity and consistency across the ecosystem.
