Accreditation of qualification assessment centers

During accreditation of the center, principles such as voluntariness, fairness and neutrality, prevention of conflicts of interest, transparency, equality, and confidentiality are observed, and the center’s compliance with established criteria, indicators, requirements, and standards is officially confirmed.

The applicant personally obtains the accreditation certificate by visiting the Public Services Center or downloading it from the UIPSP.

The accreditation certificate is valid for five years.
