Can I see what I am getting before I pay?
The short answer
Yes. Below is a two-minute film of the whole path from paying to your first certificate, a real certificate, a real verification result, and a walk through what you see after you buy.
Two minutes, from paying to your first certificate
A real certificate and a real check
This certificate was issued by a demonstration provider, Riverbank Training Ltd, so you can see what your learners would receive and how anyone can check it.
What you see after you buy
- Log in with the email address you paid with. Your account is ready straight away.
- Set up a course. Add its title, date and details.
- Add aims, skills and outcomes. Write them yourself, or use CPD Genie to turn your existing material into a first draft.
- Accredit it with one click. There is no approval queue.
- Issue your first certificate. It arrives with a badge and a verification link.
Providers regularly go from paying to a first issued certificate on the same day. With a couple of courses to set up, from nothing, it typically takes 30 to 40 minutes.
