Teachable + Open CPD
You've already built the course. Open CPD adds a portable, verifiable certificate and badge the moment a student finishes it — no manual chasing.
Why pair Teachable with Open CPD
Teachable is built for selling and delivering courses cleanly. It's not built to give your students a professional credential they can show a client, employer, or professional body — most course creators solve that with a generic PDF or nothing at all.
Open CPD sits on top of Teachable and closes that gap automatically: a branded CPD certificate, a shareable digital badge, and a public achievement page for every student who completes your course.
How it connects
A student completes your course in Teachable, triggering a course completion event.
A Zap sends the student's details straight to Open CPD's certificate API.
Open CPD generates the certificate, badge and achievement page, then emails the student directly.
No change to how you run or deliver training in Teachable.
What your Teachable students get
Your name, your logo, their course title, learning outcomes and CPD points.
Shareable on LinkedIn or in an email signature, verifiable in one click.
A permanent, indexed page recording what they learned and who taught it.
Teachable questions, answered
We'd recommend turning it off once Open CPD is connected — running two certificates for the same course just confuses students about which one counts. If you want to keep Teachable's exact look, we can build a bespoke Open CPD certificate template to match your branding, so it feels seamless — it's just always generated and issued by Open CPD, not by Teachable.
