Why teams switch from High Speed Training
The most common reasons organisations look for an alternative.
Eliminate per-course costs
Stop paying £26–£65 per course, per learner. CPDForge is a flat subscription — generate courses within your monthly plan limit (or unlimited when you connect your own AI key — BYOK) without per-course costs scaling with your team.
Create training specific to your workplace
Pre-built courses miss your specific risks, roles, and regulatory context. Generate tailored content from your organisational profile instead of settling for generic material.
Respond to change in minutes, not weeks
When regulations change, generate or update a course in under five minutes instead of waiting for a provider to refresh their catalogue.
Own and evolve your content
Edit, improve, and refine your training continuously with AI editorial tools. Stop being locked into static, vendor-controlled material.
"We were spending thousands buying individual courses each year. With CPDForge, we create exactly the training we need for a fraction of the cost."
Health & Safety Manager, Manufacturing
"The off-the-shelf courses we were buying didn't cover our specific site risks. AI-generated content that reflects our actual workplace was a game-changer."
Compliance Lead, Facilities Management
"Managing training across 12 client organisations meant buying the same courses repeatedly. CPDForge's multi-org model solved that completely."

You don't need to stop buying courses overnight
Many teams keep High Speed Training for specific accredited certifications (food hygiene, first aid) while using CPDForge for custom, organisation-specific training. There's no need to choose one or the other immediately.
CPDForge exports to SCORM, PDF, and PowerPoint, so courses you create can be delivered through your existing systems. Start with one custom course and see the difference.

Who switches to CPDForge?
Compliance managers
Teams that need training specific to their workplace risks, not generic off-the-shelf courses that miss organisational context.
Consultants and training providers
Professionals managing compliance training across multiple client organisations who need scalable content creation, not repeated course purchases.
L&D and HR teams
Teams responsible for building and maintaining bespoke training programmes aligned to their organisation's policies and regulatory obligations.
Health & safety officers
Officers who need to create site-specific training that reflects actual workplace hazards, not generalist courses.
When High Speed Training may be a better fit
You need specific external accreditations. High Speed Training courses are accredited by RoSPA, City & Guilds, and CPD Certification Service. If your organisation requires these specific third-party accreditations for regulatory or contractual reasons, HST delivers this out of the box.
You only need a small number of standardised courses. If your training needs are fully met by 2–3 off-the-shelf courses and you prefer a one-off purchase over a subscription, per-course buying may be simpler.
You don't need custom content. If your compliance requirements are generic and don't require tailoring to your specific workplace risks, roles, or regulatory context, a pre-built library may be sufficient.

Frequently asked questions
What is High Speed Training?
High Speed Training is a UK-based online training provider offering over 180 pre-built compliance courses. Courses cover topics like health and safety, food hygiene, safeguarding, and manual handling. Individual courses may carry external accreditation (such as CPD, RoSPA, or City & Guilds). They operate on a per-course purchase model, typically priced between £26 and £65 per course plus VAT.
How is CPDForge different from High Speed Training?
High Speed Training provides a catalogue of pre-built courses that you purchase individually. CPDForge uses AI to generate bespoke training content tailored to your organisation, industry, and compliance requirements. You create courses in minutes rather than selecting from a fixed library, and you can continuously improve content as regulations change.
Does CPDForge offer accredited courses like High Speed Training?
CPDForge does not provide courses pre-accredited by external bodies. Organisations can create their own training using CPDForge and, where required, seek third-party accreditation (such as CPD, RoSPA, or other bodies) for those courses. If your organisation requires courses with pre-existing third-party accreditations, High Speed Training offers courses that may carry such accreditation at the individual course level.
Is CPDForge more cost-effective than buying courses individually?
For organisations that need multiple courses across different topics and teams, CPDForge's subscription model (starting at £29/month) is typically more cost-effective than purchasing individual courses at £26–£65 each. The value increases significantly for teams creating bespoke content or managing training across multiple sites.
Can I use both CPDForge and High Speed Training?
Yes. Some organisations use High Speed Training for specific accredited courses (e.g., food hygiene certification) while using CPDForge for custom, organisation-specific compliance training, regulatory monitoring, and ongoing content management. The two platforms serve different needs and can complement each other.
Does CPDForge support regulatory change tracking?
Yes. CPDForge monitors regulatory sources like HSE, OSHA, and ACAS for changes, detects which of your training courses are affected, and generates targeted update proposals. High Speed Training does not offer regulatory change monitoring.
Do I need to fully switch from High Speed Training?
No. Many teams start by creating one or two custom courses in CPDForge while keeping their existing High Speed Training purchases for accredited certifications. You can use both platforms and transition at your own pace.
