Dutch term or phrase: persoonscertificatie
I have not much context for this one but it has to do with establishing what skills someone has and certifying him/her accordingly.

Anyone?

Certification of professional competence
Explanation:
Certification of professional competence, e.g.

"SKO, as a certification body, performs the verification of professional competence for a number of professions. For each separate professional group, SKO applies a separate set of requirements which are based upon (inter)nationally agreed standards. Each of the certification systems has been tailored to the specific requirements and characteristics of the profession. If a certification candidate meets the requirements pertaining to his profession, SKO issues a certificate of professional competence, stating the holders qualifications. The SKO website is structured according to the certificationsystems operated by SKO. There is a general part on certification and accreditation and different chapters for each separate certification system. All chapters are set up identically in a number of paragraphs providing frequently asked for information and an application form."
