The evaluation process for PCA
In order to be eligible for the PCA, it is evident that individuals are specialized in any field or career. The CV of the candidate is being rigorously checked or examined to ensure that the individuals are being awarded the PCA. The PCA is being awarded also on the basis of the experience of the individuals.
The evaluation process is managed by the Secretariat and implemented through a qualification verification supervised by the IAB Lead Assessors. The evaluation process normally takes about 1/2 weeks.
The result is a composite score, sum of assessment categories scores relating to several professional profile aspects. The assessment categories are consistent with IAB competence compliance standards.
The validity of Credential Certificates granted to individuals can be publicly verified on the IAB home page under "CREDENTIAL VERIFICATION" by entering the certificate number.
