Who it is for
Owners of language examinations, test suites and examination bodies responsible for design, delivery, scoring, results and continuing quality.
Eligibility depends on whether the proposed subject can be clearly identified, independently assessed and represented accurately in a public record.
Assessment areas
What the review examines
Governance, competence and accountability
Test purpose, construct and framework claims
Validity, reliability and standard setting
Administration, security, marking and results
Portfolio oversight, incidents and continuous review
Evidence
Claims must be auditable.
The evidence plan is tailored to the scheme, scope, risk and delivery model.
Process and monitoring
Recognition is a monitored decision, not a one-off badge.
Decision and duration
The independent decision defines scope, conditions, effective date and validity. Duration follows the applicable scheme rules and is never implied or permanent.
Continued monitoring
Material changes, surveillance findings and continued compliance can amend, suspend, withdraw or replace the record.
Scope boundary
What this recognition does not mean
A Certi Mark – Examination does not extend to the examination body. A Certi Mark – Examination Body recognises the audited governance and quality system but does not validate every examination unless each named product is expressly included in the published scope.
