What’s inside

1The recognition gap

Why volunteer inductions, safeguarding programmes, and staff development disappear the moment the session ends, without a formal credential to show for them.

2What your learners receive

A branded CPD certificate, an Open Badge 2.0 digital badge, and a permanent public achievement page — issued individually or in bulk.

3From training to credential in three steps

Deliver your training as normal, set up your course profile (CPD Genie can draft it from your existing materials), then issue certificates. Launch in a day.

4The Open CPD Charter

Seven principles covering recognition, transparency, and ethical practice, and the Certificate of CPD Membership your organisation receives for signing up to them.

5Built for organisations that run lean

No submission process, no waiting for approval. UK-registered charities receive double credits automatically, on every plan, with no application required.

6You are not starting from scratch

Used across many sectors and 32 countries, including charities running social care, safeguarding, and volunteer management training.

Is this for you?

You run training or induction programmes

Staff development, mandatory training, or professional courses that deserve a credential as credible as the training itself.

You train and support volunteers

Give volunteers real, shareable recognition for the skills they gain — often the first formal credential they've ever received.

You need to evidence training to funders or trustees

A principled, documented answer to how your training is evidenced and governed, without the cost of formal regulatory accreditation.
