WOC programmes are delivered exclusively through Approved Training Centers — institutions that have met WOC's standards and operate under a binding agreement.
An Approved Training Center (ATC) is a governed delivery body operating under WOC standards. ATCs deliver the programme; WOC owns the certification framework, controls assessment quality, and issues every certificate. The relationship is formal, documented, and subject to audit. The ATC that trains never certifies — that authority rests with WOC alone.
The ATC Agreement defines clear operational boundaries. These are binding conditions of center approval — not suggestions.
The division of responsibilities between Approved Training Centers and WOC is defined in the ATC Agreement and maintained throughout the relationship.

Center approval is a structured process. Each step must be satisfactorily completed before the next begins.
The applicant submits the formal ATC Application Form (WOC-FORM-001) including organisational details, proposed programmes, and key personnel. WOC acknowledges receipt within 5 working days.
WOC reviews submitted documentation against the ATC Standards Framework. This includes staff qualifications, facility specifications, and existing quality management practices. Applicants may be asked to provide additional evidence.
WOC assesses whether the centre's physical facilities, equipment, and resources meet the requirements for the programmes applied for. Kitchen facilities, storage, classroom space, and practical areas are reviewed.
Staff credentials are checked and approved by WOC. Trainers and assessors must hold relevant occupational qualifications and assessor competence appropriate to the programmes being delivered.
WOC issues a formal approval decision based on all evidence gathered. Applicants are informed of the outcome and any conditions that must be met prior to final approval.
On approval, the ATC Agreement is signed by both parties. The agreement governs all aspects of the delivery relationship and defines obligations, audit rights, and termination conditions.
The center receives its unique ATC ID (WOC-ATC-[CC]-[NNNN]) and is granted access to the WOC system. The ATC is listed in the WOC center register and authorized to begin delivering approved programmes.
Review the requirements and submit an application. WOC pilot operations are active in Bangladesh and Nepal.
