Why you can trust this credential

Core Compliant Accredited Programme

CPFPSI governed

Quality-assured against a 14-criterion framework with human SME sign-off.

Standards grounded

Built on authoritative source material — fail-loud grounding, no fabricated content.

Publicly verifiable

Every credential has a public verification record and QR code.

How the assessment & credential work

AI recommends, a human confirms. Every credential is quality-assured and independently verifiable.

QA Verified content

The programme content passes an automated quality rubric before it can be published — checking accuracy, coverage and assessment integrity.

Human SME sign-off

A subject-matter expert reviews and signs off the published version. The public 'QA Verified' badge only appears while a valid sign-off is pinned to the current version.

Human-confirmed AI assessment

Where a programme uses an assignment, AI produces a recommended grade against a fixed rubric and a human reviewer confirms or overrides it. AI never issues a credential on its own.

Verifiable Level 5 credential

On completion you earn a verifiable Level 5 credential with a unique ID that anyone can check on a public verification page — no account required.
