How it works

Submit, we read, we tell you yes, no, or how to get there.

Three small steps, plainly explained. No portal to wrestle with.

01 · Send

You send us your material.

A PowerPoint, a PDF, a course outline, a recording — whatever your CPD actually looks like. Tell us briefly who it's for and what it's meant to teach. It's closer to writing to an editor than filling in a form.

02 · Read

We read it properly.

Every submission is read by a specialised AI reviewer trained for CPD content — learning outcomes, accuracy, structure, how it actually teaches. A human (us) makes the final call.

03 · Decide

We tell you the outcome.

One of three things, in plain English: yes (here's the mark and the wording), not yet (here's what would need to change), or no (and honestly, why).

In more depth

The fuller story.

On AI in the review

We use AI to read everything we receive. That's how we keep this free without cutting corners on the work the mark is supposed to represent. The AI is a specialised reviewer trained for CPD content — looking at learning outcomes, accuracy, structure, and how the material actually teaches. The decision on the mark itself is always made by a human.

On turnaround

We get to submissions when we get to them. It's a small editorial project, not a service-level agreement. If it's been more than a few weeks and you haven't heard back, do nudge us.

On the mark itself

If we issue it, it's yours to put on the specific course or material it was issued for, with the wording we provide. It works as a small badge on slides, on a course page, or on handouts. Please don't imply government, regulator, or statutory endorsement — it isn't that, and it doesn't need to be.

On being private

We're a private collective at launch, so we don't publish a public list of who carries the mark. The mark lives on your material; that's the entire public surface of it for now. We may open a public collection later, once there are enough marked courses to make that list meaningful — but not yet.

We don't review everything we receive — but everyone gets a real answer.
