HQ SACT MDFD Quality Assurance Section, in close cooperation with NATO School Oberammergau, is pleased to announce that the newly launched NATO Quality Assurance Specialist in Education and Training Programme (NQASP) has successfully reached its final and symbolically most significant milestone: the introduction of the first-ever Credly by Pearson Digital Badge awarded to individuals who hold this certificate and professional designation.
This badge is far more than a visual symbol of recognition; it constitutes a formal validation of expertise, professional integrity, and full compliance with NATO standards in the field of Quality Assurance in Education and Individual Training. It attests to the knowledge, dedication, and professional responsibility of those who actively contribute to strengthening quality, credibility, and interoperability across NATO Alliance and Partner Nations.
We are particularly pleased that this initiative has been guided, from its inception, by a forward-looking vision that successfully combines long established values of excellence with modern digital solutions. As a result, the achievements of certified professionals are now visible, verifiable, and easily shareable on a global scale, further enhancing the credibility of both the programme itself and the institutions that stand behind it.
This milestone represents an important step forward not only for the programme, but for the broader education and training system as a whole. It sends a clear and powerful message that quality, knowledge, and professionalism are recognized, valued, and permanently acknowledged.
