Is ANOther Establishment approved to issue IMCA certification?
No – IMCA does not approve any establishments for issuing general competence certificates under its competence assurance and assessment guidance. Assessments should generally be carried out on-the-job by employing contractors, although some may choose to use the services of third party organisations to assist in the implementation and ongoing conduct of their assessment procedures. In either case, the contractor may opt to utilise ‘certificates of competence’, which will either be issued directly by the contractor or the third party. Any queries relating to these will need to be referred to the issuer direct. IMCA provides the framework for the parties to assess competence. IMCA also provides guidance on competence of auditors.
