Abstract: The modern market environment is characterized by significant competitiveness, variability, and the need for continuous improvement of professional competencies. Certification enables organizations to identify the strengths and weaknesses of employees and to establish the priorities for personnel development. Additionally, certification serves as an effective incentive for employees, encouraging them to pursue professional growth and develop their own career strategy. The purpose of this article is to examine theoretical aspects and provide practical recommendations for enhancing the methodology of personnel certification. This study is based on scientific articles and Internet resources on personnel policy. It uses systematic and logical analysis. The study also applies methods of information generalization and comparative analysis. The article analyzes theoretical approaches to "certification." It explains why personnel certification increases an organization's effectiveness. It outlines how open and latent functions affect certification. Key elements of personnel certification are described. Procedural aspects, including goals, objectives, and criteria, are specified. The strengths and weaknesses of personnel certification methods are identified. The study shows that digital technology in training and certification improves efficiency and offers self-development opportunities. The advantages and disadvantages of the methodology of employee certification are established. The introduction of a competency-based approach to assessing not only work results but also employee competencies is argued. An improved certification methodology using a formalized rating system for personnel evaluation is recommended, which contributes to optimizing personnel management and increasing the efficiency of the organization.
