Certification Process
To make the course content more widely available, the ILO's International Training Centre is certifying local trainers to deliver the course on its behalf. The three-phase certification process is designed to ensure a high standard of quality and typically takes between six and twelve months to complete. Once trainers are certified, they have access to a full set of training materials that are regularly updated to incorporate new developments in the field. Trainers adapt these materials to their local environment.
- Associate Trainer. This status is awarded to trainers who complete the training of trainers process and demonstrate the ability to deliver the course together with one or more accredited trainers.
- Accredited Trainer. This status is awarded to trainers who complete the training of trainers process and meet all of the standards for certification as an ILO-accredited trainer who can deliver the course independently. Trainers must fulfill certain criteria on an annual basis to maintain this status over time.
- Master Trainer. This status is awarded only to those trainers who have achieved the status of Accredited Trainer and have met additional requirements which qualify them to mentor other local trainers through the three-stage training of trainers process.
