PCN certification is also widely known and highly respected throughout the industrialised world. PCN certificates are accepted as evidence of competence in a number of countries. If ever any difficulty is experienced in certificate recognition, The British Institute's Certification Services Division is committed to making every effort to secure recognition for the benefit of certificate holders and their employers.

 The potential advantage that seeking independent certification through PCN confers (upon the individual when seeking employment anywhere in the world, or upon the company when dealing with overseas purchasers and suppliers specifying the most rigorous quality requirements) can be considerable.

Few, if any, other independent NDT personnel certification schemes offer a similar level of compliance with such a wide number of standards. It goes without saying that the integrity and thoroughness of the PCN certification scheme carries world-wide respect, earning an enviable reputation.
