For Certification Bodies

Why Partner with GCCS

Join an international certification system designed for credibility, cross-border recognition, and public funding compatibility.

International Recognition
GCCS certificates are referenced to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and verified via a central registry — recognised across borders.
ESF+ and EU Funding Ready
GCCS provides the auditable documentation, learning-outcomes methodology, and quality assurance that ESF+ funded projects require.
Compatible with National Systems
Works alongside FUNDAE (Spain), Fondi Interprofessionali (Italy), and other national training fund frameworks. GCCS complements — never replaces — your local system.
ISO/IEC 17024 Aligned
The GCCS Standard is developed with reference to ISO/IEC 17024 principles, strengthening the credibility of every certificate you issue.
Ready-made qualifications. As a GCCS partner you implement qualifications that are centrally developed and maintained — with learning outcomes, verification criteria, and validation processes already defined. You focus on delivering exams and growing your candidate base.
Requirements

Accreditation Requirements

What your organisation needs to demonstrate before becoming an accredited GCCS Local Certification Body.

Legal Capacity
Your organisation must have the legal status to operate certification and examination activities in its jurisdiction.
Organisational & Technical Capability
Documented ability to conduct supervised examinations — on-site or via online proctored platforms — with qualified personnel.
Separation of Functions
If your organisation also delivers training, you must demonstrate clear separation between training activities and certification decisions.
Commitment to the GCCS Standard
Willingness to comply with GCCS requirements, implement qualifications as defined, and participate in periodic audits.
Qualified Examiners
Personnel with verified competence in the relevant qualification domains, trained in GCCS examination procedures and identity verification requirements.
Accreditation is granted in two stages: general accreditation confirms your overall readiness, and qualification-specific accreditation is issued for each individual qualification you wish to deliver. You can expand your scope over time.

Pricing

Fees & Pricing

Tailored to your organisation. Discussed in person.

GCCS accreditation fees and per-certificate pricing are agreed individually with each partner, based on scope, volume, and market. We believe these conversations are best had directly — not through a price list.

To discuss fees, partnership terms, and accreditation conditions, schedule a personal consultation with Mr Vyron Loupasis, who will walk you through the full pricing structure and answer any questions.

What to expect from the meeting: a clear overview of annual accreditation fees, per-certificate pricing, multi-year packages, launch programme discounts, and any qualification-specific terms relevant to your organisation.
