About GSDC

The Global Skill Development Council (GSDC) is a leading global professional certification body, advancing skill development and professional excellence across industries and countries. GSDC provides internationally recognized certifications designed to validate professional competencies against globally established standards.

This underpins the credibility, consistency, and global recognition of every GSDC certification.

IAS is a nonprofit, public-benefit accreditation body that has operated since 1975, with programs built on recognized national and international standards. It holds signatory status across major multilateral arrangements — APAC, IAF, and ILAC — ensuring GSDC’s accreditation is accepted worldwide.
