Perhaps 'validation of ability to do the job' would work as well.

professional skills


Explanation:
Looking at Valideringskansliets own web site http://stockholm.se/templates/template_121.asp_Q_mainframe_E... they validate professional skills and THEN offer a certification and even qualification of these skills. Yrkeskompetens is what somebody acquires through learning on the job or just performing a job for a period of time.
