About CEPAS

Set up in 1994, CEPAS is a personnel and training course awarding body. Its primary focus is to ensure the top level of competence and experience is achieved for professional activities. 

In 2016, CEPAS was purchased by Bureau Veritas, which originally dates back to 1828. Since this time, the sole purpose of Bureau Veritas has been to test, inspect, and certify experience, all of which have led to it becoming a world leader in the sector. Operating in over 140 countries with a sizable workforce of over 74k employees in 1,400 offices and labs, CEPAS has set a very high industry standard.  

CEPAS has a clear and concise mission statement, “guarantee a high quality of both personnel and training to the market, in the sectors where the demand is the highest”. This connects with our determination to produce highly skilled professionals. 

All certified members of CEPAS are ISO 17024 “General Requirements for Bodies Operating Certification of Persons”. In addition to individuals, CEPAS also certifies products and services to meet the ISO standard ISO 17065, along with reviewing all training courses provided by companies such as ourselves. Therefore, if you see CEPAS associated with an individual, product, or service, you know they hold great value. 

Our partnership with CEPAS ensures students can meet the ISO 18404: “Competencies for key personnel and their organisations in relation to Six Sigma and Lean implementation” through Lean Six Sigma. Before our partnership, achieving ISO 18404 was a long-winded process.
