Awarding bodies

Awarding body is a legal entity nominated by professional council. To ensure impartiality in awarding occupational qualifications, the awarding body shall set up an occupational qualification committee that shall consist of the parties interested in awarding occupational qualifications in the given field: specialists, employers, employees, trainers, representatives of professional associations and, if necessary, representatives of clients, as well as other interested parties.

In order to be granted the right to award occupational qualifications an open competition arranged by Kutsekoda shall be completed. A legal person or authority that has been declared a winner by a decision of a professional council in a public competition and that has the corresponding registration in the register of occupational qualifications may act as an awarding body. The organisation having won the competition is granted the right to award occupational qualifications for five years.
