Key concepts in ISO/IEC 24773
•Body of knowledge (BOK)
–collection of knowledge items or areas generally agreed to be essential to
understanding a particular subject
•Competence (competency)
–ability to apply knowledge and skills to achieve intended results
•Conformant certification scheme
–a scheme that satisfies all requirements defined in this International
Standard.
–An issued certificate / certification provides a proof of ability of an individual
over a certain period of time.
–A certification scheme contains a re-certification mechanism for this purpose.
–The ability addressed by the certification includes knowledge, skill and
competence at adequate levels.
–Competence involves the ability to apply knowledge and skills.
•Qualification scheme
–a scheme which is similar in some respects to certification schemes, but
which does not incorporate a re-qualification requirement or a requirement
for the maintenance of proficiency.
–The focus of a qualification is to assure an ability at a certain point in time.

Towards inter-exchange and mutual recognition of certifications and
certified engineers globally via ISO/IEC 24773
•Certification bodies: offering conforming certification to be globally accepted
and recognized
•Industry organizations: compare various certifications for professionals in
systems and/or software engineering
•Individual professionals: obtain certification to be globally accepted and
recognized
•Employers: choose or recognize such certifications
•Training vendors: provide professional training in globally recognizable way
•Universities: higher education and curriculum development aligned with BOKs
and certification schemes
•(Governments and regulatory bodies)
