About Certifications
A certification is an industry recognised award that validates a person’s expertise and competence in a specific field at a given time.
​
A certifying body conducts standardised assessments based on criteria established by the profession. some organisations, like Mental Fitness Australia, provide optional instructional resources to support candidates, such as our ALWAYS learning program, which is also free!
Although some require re-certification (re-assessment) every few years, many certifications are awarded without conditions. A motor vehicle driver’s licence, for example, is a certification that needs occasional renewal, but rarely requires a complete re-assessment.
​
The ACCC has assessed the Certified Mental Fitness Star and Mental Fitness Champion certification trade mark (CTM) rules in accordance with its role under the Trade Marks Act 1995.
