ECHA/2020/666  Annex 11 to Technical Specifications Profiles description  –  Restricted  3 (24)  1. Explanation of terms  Certification of  profiles  Certification must have been the result of 3 full days or more  (equivalent) of training/education. For example, a 1-day  introduction course attested by an attendance certificate does  NOT qualify as a candidate that is certified with a relevant  certificate in the context of this FwC. Certificates must have had a period of validity on or after the  initial date of signing the FwC. It is permissible that the  certification expires without being renewed, after the initial  signing date of the FwC.  English  Language skills  codes  The language competence classification expressed in the profile is  the minimum acceptable skill level across each of the categories  defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for  Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment (CEFR). See self-assessment grid in:  https://europa.eu/europass/system/files/2020-05/CEFR%20self- assessment%20grid%20EN.pdf  Nature of tasks  Indicative list of tasks that a person in this profile would be  expected to perform under the contract  Range  Where the profile describes a set of skills or experience 'falling in  to the range', it is not necessary that each candidate offered by  the Contractor must have all the skills or experience or tools that  are listed as bullets or comma separated items. The Contractor  must, however, be able to make available to ECHA a set of  personnel whose collective experience cover all the items referred  to in the range. When launching a service request ECHA will  define per profile the tools, within the range, in which experience  is mandatory for the implementation of the specific contract.  Relevant subject  (of training /  education)  Due to different educational programs in different countries, for  some profiles no strict definition of relevant subject has been  provided. During a Specific Contract, the Contractor shall assess  the relevance of the training/educational background of a  candidate. In the event that ECHA assesses the CV, the final  decision on whether or not the training/education is relevant shall  be taken by ECHA.  Successful  training /  education by a  competent  institute  Candidates should have what is commonly known as 'higher  education' (or sometimes known as 'post-secondary education').  This higher education must be attested by a certificate or diploma  of successful completion of the training/education required to  perform the tasks of the profile in question. The duration of the training/education undertaken must be  equivalent to three or more years 'full-time' trainee/student. Part- time trainees/students are acceptable if ECHA judges the overall  training/education, to be equivalent to at least three-years full- time.  At the level of specific contract, ECHA reserve the right to reject  candidates where the ECHA staff responsible for the contract,  judge the institute, the subject, or the nature of success of the  training/education, to be inappropriate or ambiguous.
