CECE – Certified Expert in CE Marking

With CECE Certified Expert in CE Marking you achieve the highest possible qualification in the area of CE marking. As part of this qualification program, the entire CE marking process is explained in detail. Over the entirety of the training course, the path, from risk assessment to the attachment of the CE mark, is explained to you using a virtual machine model. The model shows the differences in the procedure for partly completed and completed machines as well as beyond this for interlinked machines. The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC is naturally the basis for all observations. The complete qualification as CECE is certified by TÜV NORD. After the test is passed you will receive a TÜV certificate recognised worldwide and the title "CECE – Certified Expert in CE Marking".

Continuing Professional Development - usually abbreviated to CPD - is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. CPD hours (or points) are a way of measuring time and quality of learning. Points can be collected in a personal portfolio allowing participants to track their professional development and progression. CPD-accredited training can assist participants in honing their current skills, developing them to a new level or it could mean learning entirely new ones.

Further Information:

• Lunch and refreshments provided and are included in the price of the course
• Accommodation will be the responsibility of the attendees
• Participation in our CMSE Course OR Basis of CE & UKCA Marking is a prerequsite for delegates

(Note: 'Basis of CE & UKCA Marking' is scheduled to run on the day before this course should you wish to complete both courses consecutively)
