Whether a person may work without an MYK certificate cannot be answered with one universal rule. The requirement depends on current legislation, official notices, the occupation, the actual scope of work, the employee’s duties and the applicable national qualification.
The job title alone is not enough
The title used in an employment contract may differ from the work performed in practice. A certificate obligation should therefore not be determined without identifying the appropriate qualification code and level.
What employers should verify
- The employee’s actual duties and responsibilities
- Current certificate obligations applicable to the occupation
- The current qualification code, level and revision
- The certification body’s active scope for that qualification
- Any transition, exemption or special implementation provisions
Selecting a certification body
Where certification is mandatory, examinations and certification should be conducted by a body authorized for the relevant qualification. It is not sufficient to verify only the organization name or authorization number; the qualification-specific scope should also be checked.
