'Persoonscertificering

Mensen zijn de kritische succesfactor bij het behalen van bedrijfsdoelstellingen.
Persoonscertificering is dan ook een logische aanvulling op kwaliteitsborging van organisaties en producten. Persoonscertificering is, anders dan een diploma, een continue kwaliteitsmeting van persoonlijke vakbekwaamheid.'

'Certification of persons

Your employees are a critical factor in achieving your company's objectives. The certification of persons is consequently a logical addition to the quality assurance offered by organisations and products.

Unlike a diploma, a personal certification constitutes a continuous quality measurement of personal skills. An employer or client may expect a certified person to possess the skills and knowledge required for properly carrying out his trade and that the certified person keeps these up to date.

Appreciation and the requirement to continuously update the personal skills contribute towards the employee's involvement. In addition, a personal certificate boosts the concept of quality assurance and shows the outside world that you take corporate responsibility.'

Explanation:
Or "competence certification" if preferred. See also http://www.dnv.ae/services/certification/ for other areas of certification.

A personnel certification implies that DNV, as an independent party, ensures that your people have the competence to carry out a certain task. DNV is a leading provider of competence certification services. We have developed certification schemes for professionals in specific branches, industries and companies.

As both "certification of persons" (see Michael's answer) and "personnel certification" (or "competence certification") seem to be used by leading certification bodies, I would check this term with the client or see how the client describes these services on its corporate/US/UK website.
