ESTA has formally established the ECOL Foundation, the body that will have the job of supervising and monitoring the system of education, examination and maintenance.
The Foundation will set the criteria for becoming an ECOL-educator and for becoming an ECOL-examination institution in this field. Only when ‘ECOL-approved’ can an organisation train and test operators for the ECOL license and have use of the ECOL logo.
The foundation will also issue certificates and recognize diplomas, manage the ECOL register and organize continuing education.
