CERTIFICATE OF TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE

The purpose of the "Certification of Technical Excellence" certificates is twofold:
(1) Recognition of high quality work and demonstration of a high level of knowledge in specific areas of the Vetiver System technology; and
(2) Classification of the certified person and the relevant area of excellence in order to make
it easier for potential clients to know what area of excellence the certified person has
actually achieved and has capability.

The details relating to Certificates of Technical Excellence are in the attached document You should go to this document if you wish to apply for certification
