Evidence Approach

Evidence fit for the purpose.

Evidence for this credential must demonstrate the knowledge and applied understanding defined by the credential requirements. Depending on the approved pathway, evidence may come from an AIPC-administered assessment, previously reviewed institutional evidence, or another evidence source expressly permitted by the credential scheme.

When an approved institutional evidence pathway provides sufficient individual documentation, no additional AIPC-administered assessment is required unless the credential scheme or approved pathway specifically requires one.

Evidence may include governance scenarios, data-quality problems, KPI decisions, claims and comparisons between sustainability-reporting perspectives.

AIPC determines whether the evidence is sufficient and makes the individual certification decision.
