Training prepares. ERCA assessment confirms.
The international training network is part of ERCA’s history. Its programmes, trainers and delivery records are now being carried into a controlled catalogue.
An established training network
The former ERCA system contained 285 unique course approval records from 25 countries. They cover management-system auditors, managers, implementers, cybersecurity professionals and technical roles.
Courses are delivered by independent training organisations across the international network, whose existing site is erca-academy.com. The approved course directory and the member organisations are still published there and stay readable while the records are transferred. Completing a course and being certified remain two separate results.
Directory transition in progress.Historic records remain migration evidence. Current approval will be shown only after the organisation, trainer, programme version and applicable standard have been confirmed.
285unique legacy approval records
56standards and programme labels in the former directory

Training families carried forward
The renewed catalogue will retain the breadth of the former ERCA offer while moving obsolete editions onto controlled transition paths.

Two different results
The former ERCA model already distinguished course delivery from examination. The renewed system makes that boundary explicit.
Training completion
Confirms participation in a defined learning programme delivered by an accepted organisation and trainer.
- Current programme version
- Defined duration and learning outcomes
- Controlled materials and attendance
- Course assessment where required
Professional credential
Confirms that the candidate met the evidence and assessment requirements of the applicable ERCA programme.
- Eligibility and experience review
- Required audit or work evidence
- Applicable examination or practical assessment
- Separate certification decision and register entry
Course approval evidence
The previous ERCA process required a complete delivery package. The renewed review retains this substance and adds programme version control.
Organisation and scope
Legal identity, responsible coordinator, programme, country, language, delivery format and intended professional role.
Course regulation
Entry conditions, attendance, participant responsibilities, assessment rules, complaints and conditions for completion.
Programme schedule
A timed agenda showing topics, exercises, breaks and assessment activity in clear delivery blocks.
Learning materials
Slides, participant materials, cases, exercises, reference documents, forms and the current controlled standard or criteria.
Trainer evidence
Subject competence, professional practice, delivery experience and a sample of real teaching where required.
Examination controls
Question security, candidate identification, invigilation, marking, result control and separation from the certification decision.
Trainer requirements
Approval is attached to a defined programme scope. A trainer accepted for one route is not automatically accepted for every ERCA programme.
- Subject competenceCurrent knowledge of the applicable standard, professional task and sector context.
- Professional practiceDocumented experience performing or supervising work relevant to the programme.
- Delivery competenceAbility to explain, facilitate exercises, assess learning and work with the approved course structure.
- Continuing competenceEvidence of current practice, updates and transition activity when standards or regulatory requirements change.
Private programme approvalERCA course and trainer approval is part of a private professional competence system. It is not accreditation by a national accreditation body and does not itself confer statutory authority.
