The certification of the knowledge and skills of the trainees acquired after successful completion of the training programmes will be implemented through examinations, which will be conducted by UCERT, an accredited body by the National Accreditation System (ESYD) in accordance with the ISO/IEC 17024 standard and accredited by the EOPPEP .

Participants in the training and certification actions receive an educational allowance of EUR 5 gross per hour of theoretical training and EUR 5 per hour of practical training, less statutory deductions, provided that they have completed the training and practical training and participated in the certification process. The maximum number of absences allowed should not exceed 20% of the total duration of the programme. Trainees who have exceeded the maximum number of permitted absences are not entitled to participate in the certification examinations, are not entitled to an educational allowance and are not issued with a certificate of attendance. The certification of possible absences is carried out through the daily program attendance sheets. Any absences of trainees, up to the permissible limit of 20%, result in a corresponding reduction in the amount of the educational allowance.
