The certification framework is organized into units that constitute a coherent set of skills and knowledge relevant to the purpose of the diploma. It may include units that are optional. Each unit corresponds to a block of skills and a test. Candidates register for the diploma exam. Those who have prepared for the diploma as part of continuing professional development or through the validation of prior learning automatically receive, for the diploma units for which they have obtained a mark of 10 out of 20 or above, or through the validation of prior learning, a certificate recognizing the acquisition of the skills constituting these diploma units, and therefore the corresponding skill blocks. Those who have prepared for the diploma by other means receive this certificate upon request. The diploma is obtained by achieving an average score of more than 10/20 in all tests.
