How Training and Certification Work
A transparent, fully digital route from enrolment to credential — with IBEC handling your training and registration, and our independent Certification Partner handling your examination and award.
Individual Pathway
For working professionals enrolling directly with IBEC.
Enrol with IBEC
Create an IBEC account, choose your domain and select your training and certification track.
Eligibility Check
Submit evidence of professional experience. IBEC checks it is complete; the Certification Partner decides eligibility against its scheme.
Train & Prepare with IBEC
Take IBEC training built directly against the partner's published competency units and examination blueprint.
Partner Examination
Sit the online examination invigilated and evaluated by our Certification Partner, at a scheduled time, from any location.
Certification & Membership
The partner issues the certification decision and the certificate. IBEC activates your first year of community membership at no cost.
Stay Current
Maintain your credential through the partner's recertification cycle, supported by IBEC CPD training and community resources.
Training Partner Pathway
For training organisations bringing their own trainees through IBEC.
Partner Registration
Apply to become a Registered IBEC Training Partner under an IBEC partner agreement.
Program Alignment
Map your curriculum to the published competency units and examination blueprint.
Trainee Enrolment
Enrol your trainees through IBEC for examination with the Certification Partner.
Examination
Trainees sit the online examination invigilated and evaluated by the Certification Partner.
Award & Membership
Successful trainees receive the partner-awarded certification plus IBEC community membership; your centre receives an IBEC Certificate of Completion record for the cohort.
Technology Across Two Platforms
IBEC runs learning, enrolment and membership. The Certification Partner runs examination delivery, invigilation, evaluation and issuance. The handover between the two is automated so the candidate experience stays seamless.
Partner Invigilation
Identity verification, session recording and live monitoring — operated by our Certification Partner, not by IBEC.
Partner-Held Item Bank
Items are written, reviewed and held by the partner's committees. IBEC has no access to live examination content.
Partner Evaluation
Marking and the pass/fail decision are performed by the Certification Partner against a fixed published standard.
Verifiable Digital Credentials
Independently verifiable digital certificates with a public QR lookup registry.
IBEC Member Portal
Self-service portal for your training history, membership, CPD and renewal reminders.
