SENA receives certification from ICONTEC in Antioquia

ICONTEC delivered the Quality Certificate of Standard NTC ISO 9001-2000 to the Multisectoral Centre of Caucasia in Antioquia. Thanks to this, the 14 Training Centres of SENA in the department are certified in quality with the possibility to "design, develop and render attendance-requiring services of integral vocational training".

The certification ceremony was chaired by the Assistant Director of the Multisectoral Centre of Caucasia, Sergio Botero, at INCOTEC's headquarters in El Poblado de Medellín, where the Executive Director of INCOTEC at a national level, Fabio Tobon Lonoño, was present.
Scope of Certification

Certification enables the Multisectoral Centre of Caucasia to "render attendance-requiring services of integral vocational training in the areas of agriculture, livestock, industry, trade and services" based on the ISO 9001-version 2000 quality model.

This certification means that the Centre has to work under international standards of training processes that match the new approach of a training model based on labour competencies. It will also enable students who follow courses on different specialties offered by the Training Centre to be backed up by a quality seal that will tell them apart from other students of other institutions in the competitive labour market.

Quality certification in Training Centres of Regional SENA Antioquia started to be applied in three SENA's centres in the department in 2003. In 2004 other eight centres were certified, two in 2005 and the Multisectoral Centre of Caucasia was certified today, which means that certification has reached all SENA's Regional Office of Antioquia.
