Be recognised as the owner of a true, performant and influential Corporate University challenging and implementing the business strategies and embodying the Corporate culture or your Organisation, a strategic and operational lever to solve real problems or seize opportunities of development of your Organisation.

GlobalCCU CU Certification is the way to excellence for Corporate Universities, a learning and improving journey, the highest global recognition of the existence, the reliability, and the level of maturity, of performance and excellence of a Corporate University, delivered at the end of a deep and gradual assessment process by renowned experts.

  • Assess how your Corporate University is a true corporate university (is different from a training department) and a powerful and influential strategic partner for your internal and external stakeholders, creating value for People, Business, and Society and the Planet in an increasingly complex world and in moving ecosystems
  • Evaluate how it is efficient and performant for your customer system, modern and attractive for its beneficiaries, agile and durable for your governance authorities
  • Measure how it is strongly committed to implement the Corporate social and ecological responsibility commitments of your Organisation

What makes the GlobalCCU CU Certification a must have?

  • To benefit from an outstanding and unique knowledge and experience worldwide of working more than twenty years in the Corporate University field.
  • To benefit from a very strategic approach based on a vision, values and guidelines, and international standards, regularly adapted within the Corporate University environment evolution, enabling your Corporate University to enhance its performance and its communication.
  • To be provided with a Certification Review Report containing the evaluation of the criteria and the conclusions of the audit, or with an enhanced Review Report including recommendations for the future and next strategic plan.

GlobalCCU is one of its kind with well articulated maturity model for corporate universities with compliance, performance and excellence levels. This provides an excellent framework for evolution of corporate universities and deliver value to the clients system.

We have learnt about clear distinction between ‘traditional learning centre’ and ‘corporate university’ based on Annick’s research and charters of GlobalCCU. Traditional learning centre focus on ‘Career path, Induction-security-wellness, Individual efficiency & professionalism, Employability. The Corporate University need to focus on Cultural capabilities, Collective capabilities, Business strategies (this is also about capabilities), Sustainability. While the traditional learning centre focus on individuals and competence, the corporate university focus on capability at an organisational level. This was the focus of HR and Learning centre prior to our association with GlobalCCU but got reinforced with our certification’.

Corporate University certified by GlobalCCU

How does it work?

There are three certification levels interlinked that have to take in ascending order:

1 – Compliance level presents

What your learning structure has and does to be considered a true Corporate University.

2 – Performance level presents

How it challenges and implements the business strategies and unites around the corporate culture and brand.

3 – Excellence level presents

What your Corporate University does and how within Social and Environmental Corporate Responsibility.

  • The three levels must be undertaken in ascending order; however, it is not mandatory to complete the three levels. Depending on the maturity of your Corporate University and the activity sector(s) of your parent Organisation, you can apply for the Corporate University Compliance and stop there. You can continue to Performance level and stop there, or you can complete the Certification journey with the Excellence level.
  • The certificates are valid until the third anniversary of the announcement of the success. Renewal for the Compliance is not requested for the Corporate Universities certified at the Performance level.
  • The GlobalCCU CU Certification is operated by a high-level pool of auditors (accredited by the Certification Body, Chairman of Univencis, in charge of accrediting the Body of Auditors and to issue the certificates)
