Why Switch from Astutis to CPDForge
Generate custom H&S training with AI
Astutis provides H&S qualifications and certifications that carry accreditation from bodies such as NEBOSH, IOSH, and IEMA at the individual qualification level. CPDForge generates complete health & safety courses with lessons, quizzes, and assessments from a single prompt — reflecting your specific workplace hazards and procedures.
Operational training vs formal qualifications
Astutis focuses on formal NEBOSH, IOSH, and IEMA qualifications for H&S professionals. CPDForge enables workplace-specific operational training for employees — ideal when you need site-specific content rather than professional certification.
Self-service course creation
Astutis delivers structured qualification programmes. CPDForge enables self-service custom training creation — ideal when you need bespoke courses reflecting your operational context without enrolling in formal qualification programmes.
Monitor H&S regulatory changes automatically
CPDForge tracks health & safety regulatory updates and identifies which of your courses are affected. Astutis does not include automated regulatory monitoring or course impact detection for workplace training.
