Become an Authorized Certificator
Certificators are the Associate members that train, assess and certify under the Verana Certification Program. They set their own workshop prices, and the Foundation refers candidates and companies to them without preference.
Eligibility
What you need
- An Associate membership of the Foundation in good standing, kept active for the whole accreditation period.
- At least two Certified Instructors covering every track you will deliver. For the first program version, the Certification Office certifies the instructors of launch certificators itself.
- A verifiable service on the Verana network that holds your Verana Authorized Certificator credential and issues the certifications you grant.
- The capability to deliver training and proctored assessments, and to keep candidate records for the validity period of the certifications you issue.
- A signed Authorized Certificator Agreement, which incorporates the Certification Policy.
