Certificates that demonstrate qualifications
A certification is more than just a formal credential. It makes skills visible, comparable, and verifiable. The UMS Academy’s certificates confirm that participants have achieved defined learning objectives, understood key content, and applied it in practice. These are based on defined standards, clear criteria, and structured exam formats that are regularly reviewed.
Depending on their career path, participants receive a UMS certificate, a digital UMS badge, or, if desired, a certificate from the German Society for Quality (DGQ). Our collaboration with the DGQ, along with ongoing testing and audit processes, ensures the professional quality and comparability of the credentials. This results in a transparent qualification that is equally reliable for participants and companies alike.
Standards, transparency, and applicability
For us, certification means that competencies are not only confirmed but also demonstrated based on clearly defined criteria. The focus is on the combination of structured learning, transparent assessment, and application in a work context.
Our certifications are based on defined standards and verifiable performance metrics. Through established criteria, regular audits, and—depending on the program—external partnerships, we ensure a level of quality assurance that is equally reliable for both companies and participants.
What are the benefits of certification?
Trust through verified standards

Visibility and recognition of competence
Certificates and digital badges from the UMS Academy provide a clear, traceable record of qualifications—both internally and externally. They strengthen participants’ individual standing and underscore your company’s commitment to structured, recognized professional development.
-
Continuing education with demonstrable benefits
Clear certification standards ensure that learning programs are not merely attended, but successfully completed and applied in practice. This results in a transparent development of competencies and a measurable return on education.
-
Reliable quality through defined standards
Transparent criteria, defined assessment requirements, as well as regular audits and external partnerships—such as with the DGQ—ensure the quality and comparability of the certifications.

Standardized certificates and clearly defined requirements make it easier to classify qualifications and provide transparency for participants, HR, and managers.
