A diploma (for example a BSc in Physiotherapy) gives the professional title; peritia checks the title against the national register. A training certificate proves that someone attended or completed a course (for example three days of dry needling): it attests a competence when its content and duration cover it. A course programme alone never does: it shows what was taught, not that the person attended.

Sometimes. A formal specialty with its own title (a specialist title for doctors, a CAS or MAS in sports physiotherapy) is verified as one competence. Otherwise a specialty, such as paediatrics, is a field made of several competences, each verified on its own.

An authorisation is given by an authority: a licence to practise, the radiation-protection training required to perform X-rays, the qualification required to run a laboratory. peritia verifies the document that proves it and its validity; it never grants or replaces it.

Some competences last for a limited time: a BLS-AED certificate, for example, is valid for two years. peritia records the end date, reminds the person and their organisation 60 and 14 days before, and then shows the competence as expired.

No. It shows what has been proven. The right to practise comes from the authorities, for example a cantonal licence, or for a foreign diploma the recognition by the Swiss Red Cross.

Each competence gets two independent reviews: first an AI agent, then an authorised professional from our reviewer pool, who decides. A refusal can be contested.
