GAOSSAHP Certification Operational Framework

 

1. How Does Certification Work?

  • The speaker or institution requests certification for their course or seminar.

  • GAOSSAHP assigns an available official certifier, previously trained and accredited by us.

  • The certifier attends the course (in person or virtually) and performs a full evaluation during the live execution of the event.

2. What Does the Certifier Evaluate?

During the course, the certifier monitors real-time compliance with at least 90% of the 20 official criteria, including:

  • Up-to-date content

  • Clear communication

  • Delivery of study materials

  • Post-course feedback channel (e.g., Telegram, WhatsApp)

  • Participant assessment

  • Inclusive and respectful environment

  • Speaker’s conflict of interest declaration

  • Minimum course duration

  • Teacher-student interaction

  • Proper administration of the final evaluation

If the course meets 90% or more, it is granted the official GAOSSAHP institutional certificate.
If it meets 80–89%, a mandatory correction notice is issued, and the course must be reassessed in its next edition.
If below 80%, the course is not certified.

3. Who Can Be an Official GAOSSAHP Certifier?

  • Anyone who has completed the official GAOSSAHP certifier training course.

  • The course costs $1,000 USD.

  • Completion does not grant automatic certification rights, but inclusion in the official registry of available certifiers.

Important: Being a GAOSSAHP certifier does not authorize you to issue certificates independently. You may only certify when officially assigned by GAOSSAHP.

4. How Are Certifications Assigned?

  • When an institution requests certification, GAOSSAHP checks availability and assigns a free certifier.

  • The certifier attends the course, applies the official evaluation rubric, submits a formal report, and receives $100 USD.
    This modest payment reflects recognition for supporting the creation of high-quality learning environments.

5. Financial Model

  • Certification fee: $1,000 USD
    This covers:

    • Live course evaluation by a certifier

    • Academic validation

    • Issuance of an official certificate with a unique code

    • Listing on the GAOSSAHP website as a certified course

  • Certifier payment: $100 USD per course in which they participate as evaluator

6. Public Registry

All certified courses will be published on the official GAOSSAHP website, including:

  • Course name

  • Date

  • Speaker or institution

  • Certification code

  • Assigned evaluator

  • Minimum compliance level (90%)
