ISO/IEC 17024:2012 Accreditation of Personnel Certification Bodies
The Gold Standard of Professional Competence. Validate Your Human Capital.
ISO 17024 is the technical framework for organizations that objectively assess and certify individuals’ competence in a specific profession or field of expertise. At FMD Quality, we transform you not just into an education provider, but into an “Accredited Certification Center” that seals your personnel’s competence with internationally recognized certificates.
Purpose of the Service – The Sole Authority in Sectoral Competence
Our goal is to ensure your examination and certification processes are backed by unquestionable trust:
- Exam Reliability: Demonstrate the validity, reliability, and impartiality of exams using mathematical models.
- MYK and International Integration: Ensure full compliance with the Professional Competency Authority (MYK) requirements to secure a place in the state-supported certification market.
- Global Validity: Ensure that the personnel certificates you issue are recognized beyond borders; provide the “universal passport” for labor and expertise.
Who Is It For?
- Educational Institutions: Professionals seeking to enhance their training with an internationally recognized “certificate.”
- Professional Organizations and Associations: Chambers seeking to establish and certify professional standards for their members.
- Large Industrial Organizations: Major corporations seeking to establish “internal accreditation” and an exam center for their own staff or subcontractors.
- Those Awaiting MYK Authorization: Entrepreneurs seeking the authority to issue mandatory professional certifications in Turkey.

- Impartiality and Confidentiality Shield: Proactive management of any potential conflicts of interest that could compromise exam security.
