Nowadays, sustainability issues are gaining more and more topicality in the context of improving organizational processes, including in the field of conformity assessment. In the field of certification of persons, competence assessment institutions have also become interested in using new approaches as the quality of assessment execution does not fully meet the requirements of stakeholders regarding the ability of a person to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in situations related to the professional activity. The aim of the research is to analyze the aspects of professional competence assessment related to the certification of persons and its performance according to the stakeholder requirements in order to develop a new sustainable approach to the process of certification of persons that would ensure the quality and reliability of its execution. Qualitative and quantitative research methods have been used to analyze the elements of the concept of certification of persons and the main elements of the concept of professional competence. As a result of the research, a new sustainable approach to certification of persons is offered, where certification of persons transforms from a conformity assessment procedure into a professional competence assessment process and ensures that a person’s ability is assessed not only in accordance with the industry requirements, but also with the stakeholder needs.

“…A certificação profissional pode ser entendida como o processo que busca reconhecer formalmente as competências de um profissional em sua ocupação (ALVAREZ; TARRAGÓ, 2006;MILLER, 2017;PEREA et al, 2012). Sua importância reside no fato de que, além de influenciar o processo de melhoria da qualidade que permite ao indivíduo demonstrar sua competência profissional em suas atividades diárias, a certificação profissional proporciona um desempenho que atenda aos padrões profissionais (KAVOSA et al, 2017). Ademais, um programa de certificação profissional auxilia na definição mais específica do escopo profissional da prática, auxiliando na redução da variabilidade no desempenho (PAPADAKOS et al, 2019).…”

STUDENT AS STAKEHOLDER: "VOICE OF CUSTOMER" IN HIGHER EDUCATION QUALITY DEVELOPMENTAccording to the continuous improvement principles, all Higher Education Institutions (hereafter -HEIs) focus on the requirement to improve organizational processes and achieve quality, create added value and achieve stakeholders' satisfaction. The aim of the research is to analyse the concept "quality in higher education", define the stakeholders within the system of higher education and to analyse students' opinion about the importance and performance of the factors of quality of higher education. The research methods are a literature overview, analysis and synthesis, logical and comparative analysis, as well as Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). The results of analysis showed that there are two global strategies for defining quality of higher education. The first strategy is process-oriented, the second used the specific indicators (administrative, student support, instructional; procedural quality; student performance, employability etc.). The research results show that the concept of quality is very complicated and depends on different factors, objectives of the organisation and personal experience. It is clear that students are the most important stakeholders; quality of the academic staff and study programmes are the most important elements in ensuring quality of higher education; organisation of the study process and delivery of study programmes are the most important activities. The factors that should be considered in the future are Clear achievement assessment and feedback, Teaching methods, Student-centred learning, State subsidized studies according to quality criteria and Funding of higher education. As a perspective for investigation, it would also be helpful to find out why students consider extracurricular activities (sports, arts, etc.) and HEI reputation as factors with a low impact on quality of education, but so much attention is paid to them.
