Our Methodology to build a successful Certification program
Certification programs have proven to be an effective tool for fueling business growth, customer retention, partnerships, and employee satisfaction. Organizations large and small, from top-tier technology companies to professional associations have leveraged certification programs to ensure proper product implementation, improve customer experience, and generate revenue growth.
There are several critical steps in launching a certification program and maintaining the success of that program. You must ensure your certification test is credible and meets the standards of the industry. The certification program must serve the goals of your market including career advancement and professional recognition. When navigating through the certification program start-up process, it can be valuable to work with an experienced industry partner.
We followed the below steps to achieve this:
Step #1: Determine the need for a certification program
The first step in developing a certification program is to first evaluate the market need. Determine who is the test candidate and the total size of the target market. Evaluate if there are similar credentials already in the market. we conducted a feasibility study in this phase of determining the need for the certification program. our feasibility study may include:
- Information gathering – researching target audience(s), market analysis, etc.
- Survey development – survey and pilot testing
- Additional data collection – focus groups, interviews, etc.
- Analysis – results and recommendations
Step #2: Determine the resources needed to create the certification exam
The process of launching our certification program has long-term success including market research, subject matter expert recruitment, beta testing, test form development, standard setting, and more.
Step #3: Getting started with developing a certification exam
After we determined the need for a certification program, we created the actual certification exam. The certification exam is designed to measure whether professionals have the required skills and knowledge to competently perform the job or role you are certifying.
We considered developing a certification exam that is fair, reliable, legally defensible, and consistent with credentialing industry standards. This is where an expert psychometrician comes in to support the development of your certification exam, facilitate meetings with subject matter experts, and support the long-term maintenance of the program.
Throughout the test development process, active involvement from subject matter experts (SMEs), a representative from the credentialing organization, and a psychometrician is needed.
Another important consideration in developing our certification exam is the credibility in mind to select the right SMEs. These subject matter experts must have a depth of knowledge of the specific field being certified and, since many certifications are testing for applied knowledge, it is also a benefit that they have real-world experience. These SMEs will play an essential role in the development and evaluation of the certification exam content.
Step #4: maintaining a successful certification program
A professional certification program can be a valuable tool for organizations, but it is important to maintain the program in order to ensure long-term success, this why the main step we follow is the importance of keeping the certifications up-to-date so that the certification remains relevant in today’s rapidly changing markets. The criteria should be updated regularly to reflect the new skills and knowledge required to succeed in today’s marketplace.
What is UDU ?
UDU stands for Union Development Units (UDU)TM and it is equivalent to Continuing Professional Development Units (CPD). It’s the process of learning and developing your knowledge and skills whilst you work. This shows colleagues, clients and the regulator that you are committed to upholding your competence.
At the GVU we offer you a wealth of opportunities to develop your expertise through online resources, events and publications, and document your progress.
UDU vs. CPD
The Union Development Units (UDU)TM represent credit units specifically tailored for the Global Verse Union (GVU) and are comparable to Continuing Professional Development (CPD), which involves the continual upkeep of professional competence. Recognized as a crucial element, UDU plays a pivotal role in elevating professionalism standards within the Verse-related Technologies.

Structured Learning is an activity for the express purpose of learning, such as a training course, where there are defined learning outcomes to be achieved. Structured UDU, must be verifiable e.g. through attendance records.

How to approach UDU
- Expectations – what do others expect of you and what standards do you expect of yourself?
- Changes – the main changes affecting you in your role.
- Responsibilities – what are the areas of responsibility for your role?
- Environment – what are the main business environment issues for you?
- Knowledge gaps – what do you need to know about?
On reflection, you may decide that you do not need to do anything to meet your UDU needs if, for example, you are not currently working.
The following activities, if relevant to your role, could count as UDU:
- Technical reading
- Learning at work
- Meetings with experts
- Conferences
- Courses and seminars
- Online learning
- Workshops with your peers
- Reading magazines, newspapers and journals
- Registering for updates and email alerts.
Evaluate the effectiveness of what you have done. Are you satisfied that your actions have enabled you to meet your objectives, or do you need more work in this area?
Every year some members are asked to provide evidence of their compliance. We recommend that you keep an online record of your UDU during the year so that you can submit this easily if required to do so.
