29 April 2010, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK

PEOPLECERT, a rapidly developing Personnel Certification Body originating from Greece, has recently been accredited as ITIL Examination Institute. The APM Group's role as OGC's Official Accreditor for the ITIL Qualification scheme, allows it to license Examination Institutes to administer ITIL qualification and accreditation activities.

A. Byron Nicolaides, Chairman and CEO of PEOPLECERT Group, stated: "PEOPLECERT Group has been well known in Personnel Certification since 2000, for its commitment to delivering top-quality programmes and services and the highest level of service to Exam Centres, Training Providers and Candidates. We internally develop and provide state-of–the-art administration and examination systems, while our supreme examination management, in collaboration with our partners, assures high quality services are being delivered in 5 countries (Greece, China, Turkey, Portugal, Albania)".

"Our Group represents prestigious organisations such as ECDL Foundation and City & Guilds Organisation and ensures the integrity and the reliability of the examination procedure by fully meeting the specifications of standards ISO17024, ISO9001, ISO10002, ISO14001 and ISO27001. Employing 150 highly qualified employees and 1000 long-term partners, we offer a wide range of certifications to more than 2000 organisations."

"These competencies, in addition to the ITIL qualifications portfolio, will allow us to further expand towards a greater and strategically appropriate international customer base."

Richard Pharro, CEO, The APM Group, said, "We extend a warm welcome to PEOPLECERT which joins a select group of organizations which have been independently audited and recognized as an Accredited ITIL Examination Institute. I am confident their candidates and ATOs will receive a high level of service as PEOPLECERT itself has gone through a rigorous assessment to become Licensed by the Accreditor."
