About EAPC

Built on the European
Certification Tradition.

From Europe to Asia, EAPC exists to make professional competence visible, verifiable, and globally portable.

Who We Are

The European Academy of Professional Certification (EAPC) is an international professional certification and accreditation body, incorporated in Estonia as a European Union registered entity (Reg. No. 17511093).

We exist for one purpose: to ensure that when a professional earns a credential, that credential means something. Not a certificate of attendance. Not a participation badge. A verified, assessed, publicly registered record of demonstrated competence.

EAPC accredits training programmes delivered by approved Training Providers, administers structured assessments, and issues internationally portable certifications to successful candidates. Every certificate we issue is registered in our live public database and verifiable by any employer, anywhere in the world, in seconds.

Our Purpose

Why EAPC Exists.

The professional development industry has a credibility problem. Credentials vary enormously in rigour, recognition, and verifiability. EAPC was built to solve that.

🎯
Competence, Not Attendance
EAPC certifications are awarded only to candidates who pass a structured, independently administered assessment. Attending a training programme is the prerequisite, not the credential.
🌍
Globally Portable
Incorporated in the EU, aligned with ISO, and approved by the UK's CPD Group, EAPC credentials carry the hallmarks of an internationally recognised body, verifiable by employers in any market.
🔍
Publicly Verifiable
Every certificate number is registered in our live public database. No login, no request, no waiting. Any employer can confirm the credential in seconds at eapcglobal.eu/verify.
⚖️
Structurally Impartial
Certification decisions are made by an independent Certification Board, structurally separated from commercial and admissions functions, as required by ISO/IEC 17024:2012.
🤝
Provider Partnership
We work with Training Providers as partners, not just clients. A dedicated regional coordinator supports each accredited provider from initial application to their first certified cohort and beyond.
🔗
Lifetime Alumni Community
Every EAPC-certified professional is invited to join the EAPC Circle, a growing alumni community with CPD tracking, professional networking, and ongoing career development resources.
Our Story

From Europe to Asia, and Beyond.

EAPC was built with a specific mandate: bring European-standard professional certification infrastructure to markets that have long needed a credible, independent third-party credentialing body. From its foundation in Estonia to active operations across Asia and beyond, EAPC bridges the gap between global certification standards and local professional development markets. Incorporated in Estonia and operating globally, EAPC connects the rigour of European certification standards with the professional development needs of a growing international market.
