Employer-Sponsored Certification Terms

[email protected]

Research demonstrates that Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) methodologies significantly reduce construction waste, improve corporate construction processes, and enhance financial integrity across project delivery. While Concord Academy's individual certification programs provide valuable professional development in these proven methodologies, the following terms clarify the scope and limitations of employer-sponsored certifications purchased through our standard online platform. Organizations seeking dedicated corporate programs, organizational audit certifications, or customized implementation support should contact Concord Academy directly at [email protected] for specialized arrangements that go beyond individual professional certification.

Certification Scope and Individual Nature

All certifications obtained through this Site are individual professional certifications only | Certifications do not constitute authorization, clearance, approval, or endorsement of any kind beyond the specific knowledge areas covered in the curriculum | Users are responsible for understanding the scope and limitations of their certification within their professional context

Company Practices and Project Delivery

Concord Academy's certification of individual employees does not constitute an assessment, endorsement, or validation of the sponsoring company's AWP practices, project delivery systems, or operational methodologies. Each organization maintains full responsibility for developing and implementing their own AWP frameworks, project management systems, and delivery practices. Individual employee certification reflects personal knowledge acquisition and does not imply that the employing organization's AWP implementation meets any particular standards or best practices.

Compliance and Regulatory Frameworks

Concord Academy's provision of individual certifications does not constitute verification, assessment, or endorsement of the sponsoring organization's compliance with anti-money laundering (AML), anti-corruption, regulatory, or governance frameworks. Individual certification does not imply that the employing organization meets any compliance standards, regulatory requirements, or ethical guidelines. Each organization remains solely responsible for ensuring their own adherence to applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. Concord Academy makes no representations regarding the sponsoring company's compliance posture, internal controls, or regulatory standing.

Payment Terms and Commercial Arrangements

All employer-sponsored certifications purchased on this website are processed as standard e-commerce transactions for educational services only. Payment by an organization does not establish vendor relationships, partnership agreements, or ongoing commercial arrangements beyond the specific certification services purchased. Organizations requiring customized training programs, vendor agreements, or specialized commercial terms must enter into separate written agreements with Concord Academy. Standard certification purchases do not include consulting services, implementation support, or ongoing business relationships.

Individual Professional Conduct and Liability

Concord Academy certifies individual completion of educational curriculum and knowledge assessment only. Each certified professional remains personally responsible for their individual conduct, professional decisions, and adherence to applicable professional standards and ethical guidelines in their workplace. Concord Academy certification does not constitute supervision, oversight, or liability for individual professional actions, engineering decisions, project outcomes, or workplace conduct. Professional misconduct, errors, or violations by certified individuals reflect personal responsibility and do not represent Concord Academy standards, training, or community values.

Certification Authority and Signatures

Certifications issued through this platform bear the signature of Olfa Hamdi, co-Inventor of the Advanced Work Packaging Methodology and founder and chairwoman of Concord Academy, as the certifying authority for individual knowledge assessment and completion verification. This signature validates that the individual has successfully completed the required curriculum and assessments. The signature does not constitute personal endorsement of the employing organization, validation of company practices, or establishment of any relationship between the Chairwoman and the sponsoring company. The signature authority relates solely to the individual's educational achievement and certification earned.

Intellectual Property and Information Security

Concord Academy provides certification materials and knowledge content in good faith for educational purposes only. Each organization and certified individual remains solely responsible for protecting proprietary information, trade secrets, and intellectual property within their professional environment. Concord Academy bears no responsibility for any unauthorized use, disclosure, or misappropriation of corporate intellectual property, confidential information, or proprietary methodologies by certified individuals or sponsoring organizations. Organizations must implement their own information security protocols and confidentiality measures independent of any certification program.
