The purpose of the PEOPLECERT certification is to verify professional skills and competence against the criteria set by ISO 31000 and is suitable for those responsible for their organization’s Risk Management.

ISO 31000 sets out principles, a framework and a process for the management of risk that are applicable to any type of organization in public or private sector. It does not mandate a "one size fits all" approach, but rather emphasizes the fact that the management of risk must be tailored to the specific needs and structure of the particular organization.
