In order to ensure the technical relevance and quality of the examination content in all fields, the Fraunhofer Personnel Certification Authority has established an expert committee for each certification program. The expert committees are formed from subject matter experts representing all relevant circles in the respective area. If necessary, working groups with additional subject matter experts on specific topics are also established to support the expert committee in its work.

The expert committees define the competencies to be demonstrated for the various certificates, the examination questions and tasks, and the examination regulations.
