The stakes for the end of year 2013 are essential for the project.

The constitution of the outstanding expert group will enable the finalization of the version of the certification scheme which will be tested in early 2014. The choice to have a Committee of the device where all impacted stakeholders are represented by the certification of the guardians is essential for the viability of the selected choice and recognition and future certification to all stakeholders.

The CERTITUDE project team has gathered around the comments of the Group of experts in Brussels, from 13 to 15 November 2013, to analyze the feedback and recommendations. This work led to the finalisation of the version of the device's certification of academic tutors that will undergo tests at the end of the year 2013.

Within the framework of the CERTITUDE project, offsetting up the Scheme Committee is an important step to meet the requirements of the ISO 17024 standard. This Committee allows the stakeholders of the academic tutor certification to make comments on the competence specification and certification scheme , to amend and improve it.

The main stakeholders are the tutors, the educational and training organizations and their authorities of supervision, and the personnel certification bodies, at the European level. The Scheme Committee presently consists of 25 experts.
