What we do

One register, three responsibilities.

ERCA Academy unites an independent professional association, an accredited certification of persons body, and a structured training & examination programme — each reinforcing the credibility of the next.

01

The Association

An independent, not-for-profit register that brings member bodies and certified professionals together under common rules of competence, ethics and impartiality.

About the register
02

Certification of Persons

Accredited to EN ISO/IEC 17024, we certify the competence of individual auditors and LCA experts — independent of training, free from conflicts of interest.

03

Training & Examination
