About IPC
IPC was established as a non-for profit organization, in 1995, by the name of "International Auditor and Training Certification Association (IATCA)". To adapt to market needs for certification of professionals in a variety of categories, the role and name was changed during the Chicago Annual General Meeting (2003) to "International Personnel Certification Association (IPC)". IPC’s main activity is to develop certification schemes for professionals. Although the focus of IPC is personnel certification, recognition of training providers and training courses are also part of IPC’s activities. IPC’s objective is to promote the interests of our members (personnel certification bodies and other related interest parties) and serve the needs of the society for the competence of professionals. IPC is also a "Scheme owner”, which means that IPC develops and owns Certification Schemes (normative documents used for accreditation/certification purposes). These schemes are specifying rules and frames for competence, on which the personnel certification body, member of IPC, may elaborate.
