Short Answer: Yes, the ISO 19650 Expert Certificate from Plannerly is recognized worldwide - teams in over 100 countries use this course to highlight their practical experience with ISO 19650.
Just to clarify though, it’s not directly issued or approved by ISO itself. Instead, it’s designed to showcase your expertise in ISO 19650 standards, helping you stand out in your field and open up more career opportunities.
What the Certificate Represents
Plannerly’s ISO 19650 Expert Certificate demonstrates that you have:
A comprehensive understanding of the ISO 19650 framework
Practical experience applying its principles in real-world information management scenarios
Successfully completed a structured training and assessment process aligned with industry best practices
It is recognized across the global AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) community as a benchmark for digital delivery competence and is often accepted as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit by many professional institutions.
What It’s Not
While a lot of Plannerly’s training is based entirely on the ISO 19650 standards, the certificate is not issued by ISO itself. That’s because ISO publishes the standards but doesn't provide the training. Instead, organizations like Plannerly develop programs based on those standards and issue certificates that verify a learner’s understanding and capability.
Why It Matters
In a fast-changing industry, having a recognized ISO 19650 credential:
Shows clients and employers that you’re serious about structured information management
Helps you lead better BIM workflows and reduce project risk
Sets you apart in a competitive market where knowledge of international standards is in demand
And here’s something that speaks volumes—UKAS accredited ISO 19650 auditors have noted that companies using Plannerly to manage their processes are easier to audit, with one UK based auditor stating:
“It’s a dream to audit companies using Plannerly because it’s clear they’re truly following the ISO 19650 standards.”
That kind of feedback doesn’t just validate the training—it confirms its impact in real project environments.
