Documents
Identity evidence, application forms, experience records and other scheme-specific supporting documents may be required.
Certification Pathway
Your route from application to certification decision
Understand how scheme selection, eligibility review, preparation, assessment and the independent certification decision fit together.
Candidate certification process
Choose the appropriate scheme
Review the occupational role, scope of competence and available scheme documentation.
Request current scheme criteria
Confirm eligibility, experience requirements, identity documentation, language options, assessment fees and assessment locations.
Submit your application
Provide accurate personal details and the evidence requested in the applicable certification application.
Eligibility and document review
The certifying body reviews the application against the documented prerequisites before confirming assessment eligibility.
Prepare for assessment
Review the published competency topics and permitted preparation options. Training participation alone does not confer certification.
Attend the assessment
Complete theoretical, practical and/or other evaluation components prescribed by the relevant scheme.
Independent certification decision
The authorised certification decision process reviews results and evidence against the defined decision criteria.
Certification and status maintenance
Successful applicants receive documentation according to the scheme. Any renewal, surveillance or recertification obligations are defined by the applicable rules.
Frequently requested candidate information
Assessments
The method, duration, scoring, retest conditions and assessment language must be confirmed for the selected scheme.
After assessment
Certification outcome, candidate appeals, certificate status, validity and recertification follow the scheme rules in force.
Training does not guarantee certification
IMPAS is a certifying body rather than a training provider. A candidate may undertake suitable preparation with an independent training organisation, where permitted, but assessment outcomes and certification decisions remain subject to IMPAS scheme requirements.
