SIMP's certification programmes are developed and maintained by professionals and academics who go through multiple processes of constructing, reconstructing, and refining the assessment questions used.

​

The certifications are validated by the Honorary Professional Certification Governance and Quality Council (HPCGQC) to ensure they meet the highest standard of academic and professional applications. It is the highest governance advisory board tasked to ensure that the certification programmes of SIMP follow the international quality standards set forth by the organisation. 

 

HPCGQC is made up of respectable professionals, practitioners, and/or academics backed up by solid experience and/or high academic reputation and achievement in one or more fields of expertise representing various perspectives, cultures, industries, countries, work and experience levels.
