Process

Four stages. One platform.

The entire certification journey — from initial self-assessment to CB sign-off — managed in a single, structured workflow.

01

Pre-Assessment

Your team self-assesses against all GSTC sub-criteria with AI guidance at every step. Your consultant observes and advises. Gaps are identified before formal assessment begins.

02

Desk Assessment

Your consultant formally validates each sub-criterion. Evidence is reviewed and documented. Any revision requests are handled within the platform — no email chains.

03

Onsite Audit

CB conducts the audit via their dedicated portal. CB users access the checklist directly, review evidence, and interact with the certification workflow.

04

Certified

Dual sign-off completed. All sub-criteria locked. Certification report generated with full audit trail. Your GSTC certification journey is complete.

🔄

Dual sign-off at every stage transition

Both your consulting firm and your team must sign off before the project advances — ensuring alignment, accountability, and a clear audit trail throughout the certification process.

Who It's For

Every stakeholder. One platform.

Each role has a dedicated interface — no information overload, no access to what doesn't concern them.

Consultant Review Workflow

Your consultant reviews submissions, requests revisions with specific guidance, and validates each sub-criterion. All within the platform — no email chains, no lost feedback.
