What is the difference between BNSP certification and KAN-accredited certification?
+
Both evaluate the body rather than the candidate, but from different angles. BNSP licenses Professional Certification Bodies under national manpower provisions. KAN accredits personnel certification bodies against SNI ISO/IEC 17024, the international standard governing how a certification body must be run — from impartiality and assessor competency through to complaint handling. A single body can hold both at once, and that is what large companies most often ask for.
What is SNI ISO/IEC 17024?
+
SNI ISO/IEC 17024 sets out the general requirements for bodies operating certification of persons. It is not about examination content but about how the body is governed: separation between the party that trains and the party that assesses, how schemes are developed and reviewed, assessor qualifications, examination material security, and the appeals mechanism. KAN accreditation is the statement that a body has been audited and meets that standard.
When should a company choose the KAN route rather than BNSP alone?
+
When the party asking for evidence is not a labour inspector but a corporate client, a tender committee, or a management system auditor. In those situations the question is not "is it recognised by the state" but "is the issuing body audited by an independent third party". KAN accreditation answers that. For meeting specific role obligations, the BNSP route remains what is asked for.
Is the certificate valid abroad?
+
KAN accreditation opens the way, but cross-border recognition runs through the IAF multilateral recognition arrangement. Its coverage depends on the scope of the arrangement applying to that type of certification. PT Rindu Tenang Indonesia covers this on a separate page so that companies genuinely targeting international recognition can check it first.
How long is the certificate valid?
+
Validity follows each certification scheme, generally three years, with surveillance and recertification mechanisms also defined within the scheme. Because schemes under SNI ISO/IEC 17024 must be reviewed periodically, these provisions can change and are always confirmed with the issuing body before a programme is scheduled.
Can the training material be tailored to our company?
+
The competency units assessed follow the standard scheme and cannot be altered — that separation is precisely what SNI ISO/IEC 17024 protects. What is tailored are the case studies, practice data, and terminology used during preparation training, so that participants work through situations they actually encounter.
Who conducts the assessment, and may the trainer also be the assessor?
+
No. SNI ISO/IEC 17024 requires separation between training activities and certification activities so that the judgement stays impartial. PT Rindu Tenang Indonesia works on the training and preparation side, while the competency assessment is carried out by assessors from the certification body. That separation is exactly what gives the certificate its standing with auditors.
What is the minimum cohort size?
+
It follows the scheme’s provisions and the assessor ratio in that field. The exact figure is confirmed with the quotation, once the roles and prospective participant numbers are known.
How much does KAN-accredited certification cost?
+
It depends on the scheme, the certification body accredited for that scope, the number of participants and the venue. We first check whether your need truly calls for the KAN route — if the national route is enough, we will say so — then prepare a written quotation with an itemised breakdown.
Can RTI supply the documents our procurement process requires?
+
Yes. PT Rindu Tenang Indonesia is an incorporated legal entity with complete corporate documentation, and is used to supplying the administrative paperwork requested by company and government procurement departments.
