Difference between FROSIO and AMPP
The main differences between FROSIO and AMPP (formerly NACE) are:
- FROSIO certification is based on a published international standard ISO 17024, previously NS 476, whereas AMPP has no basis in internationally recognized standards.
- FROSIO is officially accredited under ISO 17024.
- There are no financial connections between FROSIO as a certifying body and the approved training bodies. FROSIO has income only from the certification, not from training.
- Training bodies are approved and audited by FROSIO.
- AMPP courses are taken separately: for each certificate level, you have to attend a separate course.
- FROSIO course is taken just once and the level of the certificate is based on your experience.
