MUCH REQUESTED TEMPLATE: ETEEAP Certificate of Proficiency..

 Hi guys! As you may have read, one of the assessment requirements for ETEEAP (as mentioned in my previous post) is the Certificate of Proficiency or Competency.

I have been getting questions if I can share a copy of my Certificate of Proficiency which unfortunately took me a year to locate and had time to post. So now, I am happy and proud to say that I found it and will be sharing it with everyone. 

But, before that, please bear in mind the following notes:

1. This is based on the template that I used in 2016, it worked for LPU at that time. But, some schools may have specific and or updated requirements. So kindly take this as a guide rather than an official template.
2. The Certificate of Proficiency, based on what I remember from the ETEEAP requirement should come from your existing employer. It should be signed by your manager or someone higher. 
3. Highlight Relevant Skills. In my case, I really aimed for business management so I included skills that are closely relevant to it.
4. Include the details of your company, this information will be used by some schools that are conducting random audits and checking. It will also make your document look legit.

If I have missed something important, please add them to the comment and I will include it in our list. For now, here is the template I used. By the way, I edited some information for confidentiality.

Words in GREEN fonts are some notes for you to remember, and those that are in RED fonts are the field you need to fill out or supply.
