 The current system of Certification of Training Entities arises through the Vocational Training Reform, being managed by DGERT. The Certification System, as other mechanisms, is an instrument designed to ensure the quality of training through two strands – the recognition of appropriate pedagogical practices in the development of training activities and audits that allow regular monitoring of the activity of training providers.

This system replaced the previous Accreditation – which lasted for 13 years – as a way of updating. For this reason, the NeXus, accredited since 2000, made its transition process after notification of DGERT.

Instead of the previous regime, there is not a defined term of validity, and the performance results and audited regularly. The extent of the evaluation also undergoes changes with the new process to the extent they are assessed by the quality of training and the results achieved.
