Every validated competency block leads to an attestation

A validated block stands on its own with an employer, and adds up with the next ones until the full qualification. Proof therefore arrives during the path.

Every professional qualification in the framework breaks down into standalone competency blocks. A validated block leads to a personal attestation, verifiable online just like a full qualification.

This breakdown changes what a working adult can take on. They validate a block, put it on their CV straight away, then take up the next one when their calendar allows, without ever losing what they have earned.

The attestation names the block, its content, its hours and the qualification it belongs to. An employer therefore reads both the skill acquired and the scale it sits on.

Blocks add up to the full qualification. The path may run over several years: each step produces its own proof, and none is lost along the way.
