Cert-IT certifies training institutes and all their continuing education programs. This type of certification has been made a prerequisite for the education voucher sponsored by the German Employment Agency, JobCenter and the Argen on 1 January 2006.

Earlier on 6 June 2005 the Cert-IT GmbH was authorized by the German Federal Employment Agency to verify, in accordance with AZWV certification regulations for further education, educational institutes and their professional development programs. This makes Cert-IT one of the first to be able to supply this type of certification in the Federal Republic of Germany. In this sense Cert-IT provides for competition, transparency and quality in employment policy funding to the benefit of job seekers, employers and the public sector.

Training institutes that have a certified quality assurance system, consistent with ISO 9001, LQW, EFQM, BQM and other norms, can expect to expend less in the way of examination-related effort and subsequent costs.
