AZAV

Cert-IT GmbH was already accredited by the Federal Employment Agency on June 6th, 2005 to allow educational institutions and measures. As part of the instrument reform, the authority for accreditation has been transferred from the Federal Employment Agency to the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) since April 1st, 2012.

​

Since April 1st, 2012, the Accreditation and Licensing Ordinance for Employment Promotion (AZAV) has regulated - in conjunction with the law to improve integration opportunities in the labor market - the licensing of providers and measures. Since then, all institutions that carry out employment promotion measures have required approval, regardless of whether they want to participate in tenders or offer vouchers.

​

So-called expert bodies, such as Cert-IT GmbH, are responsible for approval. Cert-IT is one of the first professional bodies of this kind, which since 2005 has had the goal of providing quality and transparency at educational institutions for the benefit of job seekers, companies and the public sector.
