SystCert is a certification framework for individuals trained in the systemic counseling approach – at a level comparable to Levels 6 and 7 of the German (DQR) and European Qualifications Framework (EQF) - corresponding to Bachelor’s and Master’s degree levels - (e.g., Bachelor, Master, or Magister degrees).
The SystCert certification framework describes:
SystCert meets the requirements of the international standard DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024 for personnel certification.
A SystCert certificate is proof of systemic expertise at the highest professional standard.
The contexts of systemic counseling are diverse.
Therefore, the certificate additionally specifies the main areas of training as fields of specialization in which the certified professional has been qualified.
This means:
The structure of SystCert is based on the established criteria of systemic professional associations and is guided by:
the requirements of the German Counseling Association - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Beratung (DGfB)
the definitions and levels of DQR/EQR
requirements for a comprehensive quality management system
Unlike traditional association certificates, which merely certify completion of training, SystCert offers:
time-limited validity of the certificate
commitment to ongoing professional development
anchoring quality management criteria
In doing so, SystCert is following established regulations from other recognized professional fields, such as medicine, psychotherapy, or assessors.
The contexts of systemic counseling are diverse.
For this reason, the certificate also lists the fields of expertise in which the certified person has been trained by recognized training institutions.
This means:
deeper presentation of systemic professionalism
proof of several years of practical experience in specific areas
The requirements for the recognition of educational institutes are the same as those defined in the AZAV (Akkreditierungs- und Zulassungsverordnung Arbeitsförderung) - Accreditation and Approval Ordinance for Employment Promotion.
This means that the highest standards must also be maintained at the level of training and training systems.
Changes within the scope of DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024 and in relevant quality management systems are promptly taken into account through ongoing review and continous development of the SystCert program.
SystCert creates transparency and guidance for:
employers
cooperation partners
customers
clients
The certificate provides you with a reliable assessment of the qualifications and professionalism of the certified individuals.
