The ICSC Model

How ICSC Certification Works

ICSC operates as an accreditation body. We accredit and oversee a network of third-party certification bodies, assessing them under the ICSC framework to verify their competence and capability to deliver ISO-aligned certifications, CPD, PCAF, company assessments, and other ICSC-approved programmes.

Certifications are issued by these ICSC-accredited bodies following independent assessment. All certificates are registered in the ICSC verification system, ensuring full traceability and instant verification.

If your organisation or profession requires formal ISO accreditation from a UKAS-accredited body, please ensure you engage the appropriate provider.
