What Is a Certification Scheme?

A certification scheme defines the competence requirements an auditor must demonstrate to become certified to audit against a specific management system standard. Each ACI scheme is mapped directly to an international standard — such as ISO 9001 for Quality or ISO 27001 for Information Security.

When you apply for ACI certification, you apply under a specific scheme. Your certification is issued against that scheme, your Card ID reflects it, and your public register listing verifies it. You may hold certifications across as many schemes as you wish — each is assessed and maintained independently.

Multi-Scheme Certification
Certify across any number of schemes with one ACI account
Each scheme certification has its own Card ID and grade
