For Individuals

A REP Number™ is a portable, third-party credential for non-hospital procedural workers — sales representatives, clinical specialists, service engineers, distributor representatives. It is independent of any employer; it follows you between companies; it is recognised by accredited hospitals as third-party evidence of Hospital Competency.

How to get one

  1. Confirm eligibility. Your sponsoring Company must hold an Active Company Number™. If yours does not yet, ask them to apply.
  2. Schedule the exam. Through the testing provider (currently Prometric or equivalent). The exam is calibrated to the twelve HWASC domains.
  3. Sit the exam at your designated proficiency tier. Results travel directly from the testing provider to HVC — no employer in the path.
  4. Receive your REP Number™. On pass, you are issued a unique non-sequential identifier and a verification record.

What you can do with it

  • Share your verification page. Send a hospital or surveyor the canonical URL. The page renders on any device, no login required.
  • Show a QR code at the vendor desk. Open your verification page on a phone and present the QR; the receptionist scans and verifies in seconds.
  • Carry it between employers. If you move companies, your REP Number™ remains yours — the Linkage changes; the Hospital Competency does not.

Recertification

Currency periods are scheme-committee deliverables, but expect a multi-year cycle with currency-maintenance activities between recertifications.
