Report, decision and certificate
The final report explains findings and evidence. The decision notice states the authorised outcome and reasons. A certificate and scope annex are issued only after a pass decision and completion of issuance checks.
Validity and continuing responsibilities
The normal initial period is 24 months, with exact dates stated in the decision and certificate. The valid-through date includes that day in UTC+08:00. A brief confirmation of version, use and changes is requested at 12 months; material changes are reported when they occur.
Accurate public statements
Public statements should identify the accredited standard and version, IVETSA, the certificate reference and the current scope. Use the supplied logo within its permission and maintain readable proportions. A supporting course, another institution or a revised version is covered only where the record expressly includes it.
Changes, reissue and renewal
Report changes affecting outcomes, curriculum, course coverage, essential resources or use of the result. IVETSA determines whether a record correction, targeted review or renewed evaluation is needed. Reissue preserves the original validity interval unless a new authorised decision changes it and links the old and replacement records.
Status and verification
A record may be pending, valid, suspended, withdrawn, expired, superseded or void. Current effective status events and dates govern use. A displayed certificate should be checked against its reference and scope, and enquiries may be sent to [email protected].
Review of a disputed result
An institution may appeal a delivered decision under the fairness and appeals rules. A complaint or appeal does not automatically change a certificate status; any change follows an authorised record and is communicated.
