ISO/IEC 17024 reference
Polaris professional certification schemes are being developed with reference to ISO/IEC 17024, the international standard addressing bodies operating certification of persons.

Training authority is not certification authority.
Authorized Training Partners operate subject to applicable agreements and authorization requirements.

Professional certification authority remains with Polaris under the applicable scheme and procedures.

Individuals and organizations remain responsible for the laws, regulations, contracts and professional obligations applicable to their activities and jurisdictions.

Verify at the official source.
The validity of a Polaris certification depends on its current official certification status. A certificate, badge, profile or other representation should not be relied upon as the sole evidence of status where official verification is available.

Current information and controlled documents.
Polaris seeks to maintain accurate and current website information. Certification requirements, examination specifications, policies, fees, schedules and other information may change as schemes and services evolve. Where website information conflicts with an applicable formally controlled certification document, the controlled requirement should govern, subject to applicable law and contractual obligations.
