Last updated: April 2026
Why teams switch from NAVEX
The most common reasons organisations look for an alternative.
Avoid months of enterprise procurement
NAVEX requires a sales process, contract negotiation, and implementation timeline. CPDForge is self-service — sign up and create your first course immediately.
Transparent pricing without enterprise overhead
NAVEX pricing is enterprise-level with annual contracts and implementation fees. CPDForge starts at £29/month with published plans — no hidden costs or vendor negotiations.
Generate bespoke training rapidly
NAVEX provides expert-designed courses from a fixed library. CPDForge generates custom courses from a prompt — covering any compliance topic specific to your organisation.
Training that updates when regulations change
CPDForge monitors regulatory changes and detects which courses are affected. Instead of waiting for a vendor to release updated content, you can generate or update courses immediately.
"We evaluated NAVEX but the pricing and sales process meant a 6-month procurement cycle. CPDForge had us creating courses the same day."
Compliance Manager, Healthcare
"The AI course generation means we can respond to new compliance requirements immediately, not wait for the vendor to release a new course."
Training Consultant, Multi-client
"CPDForge's regulatory monitoring does what we were paying a separate GRC tool for — and it connects directly to our training content."
Compliance Lead, Facilities Management

You don't need to replace your GRC platform overnight
Many teams keep NAVEX for enterprise-wide ethics training (code of conduct, anti-bribery) while using CPDForge for custom, site-specific compliance training, regulatory monitoring, and rapid course creation for emerging requirements. The platforms solve different problems.
CPDForge exports to SCORM, PDF, and PowerPoint, so courses you create can be delivered through your existing LMS infrastructure. Start with one custom course and see the difference.

Who switches to CPDForge?
Compliance managers outside enterprise
Teams that need powerful compliance training without the procurement cycle, contract complexity, and pricing of enterprise GRC platforms.
Training consultants and providers
Professionals managing compliance training for multiple client organisations who need scalable content creation, not a single enterprise licence.
Small to mid-size organisations
Companies that need compliance training immediately, with transparent pricing and self-service onboarding — not a months-long enterprise sales process.
Teams needing organisation-specific content
Organisations whose compliance risks are specific to their industry, sites, or operations — and can't be fully addressed by a generic course catalogue.
When NAVEX may be a better fit
You need a full enterprise GRC suite. NAVEX One includes hotline management, incident reporting, policy management, and third-party risk alongside training. If you need all of these integrated into one platform, NAVEX is purpose-built for that.
You require legally pre-vetted course content. NAVEX courses are expert-designed and legally vetted by Baker McKenzie. If your organisation requires this specific level of legal validation across a large, global workforce, NAVEX provides it out of the box.
Adaptive learning is a core requirement. NAVEX offers adaptive learning that adjusts to individual learner performance. CPDForge does not currently offer this capability.

Frequently asked questions
What is NAVEX?
NAVEX (formerly NAVEX Global) is an enterprise ethics and compliance platform offering the NAVEX One suite, which includes ethics and compliance training (NAVEXEngage), hotline and incident management, policy management, and risk assessment tools. Their training library includes expert-designed courses legally vetted by Baker McKenzie. Pricing is enterprise-level and requires vendor contact.
How is CPDForge different from NAVEX?
NAVEX provides a comprehensive enterprise GRC platform with a structured training library designed for large organisations. CPDForge focuses on enabling organisations to create training content tailored to their specific policies, risks, and operational context — supporting both custom AI-generated courses and structured templates. CPDForge also links regulatory change monitoring directly to your training courses, identifying exactly which content needs updating when regulations change. NAVEX is suited to large enterprises requiring full GRC capabilities; CPDForge is designed for accessible, flexible training delivery across all organisation sizes.
Does CPDForge offer the same breadth of compliance topics as NAVEX?
CPDForge can generate compliance training for any topic — anti-bribery, data protection, health and safety, employment law, and more. CPDForge supports both custom AI-generated content and structured templates. NAVEX courses are expert-designed and legally vetted by a specific law firm. For organisations that need highly standardised, legally pre-vetted content across a large workforce, NAVEX may be more appropriate. For organisations needing flexible training that can be both customised and structured, CPDForge is designed for this.
Is CPDForge suitable for enterprise compliance programmes?
CPDForge is used by organisations of all sizes, including multi-site and multi-client operations. However, it does not include NAVEX's broader GRC capabilities like hotline management, incident reporting, or third-party risk assessment. If your primary need is creating, improving, and managing compliance training (both custom and structured) with regulatory monitoring, CPDForge is a strong fit.
How does pricing compare?
CPDForge plans start at £29/month with transparent, published pricing. NAVEX pricing is enterprise-level and requires direct vendor contact — typically involving annual contracts and implementation fees. CPDForge is significantly more accessible for small to mid-size teams and consultancies.
Can I use both NAVEX and CPDForge?
Yes. Some organisations use NAVEX for standardised enterprise-wide ethics training (code of conduct, anti-bribery) while using CPDForge for organisation-specific compliance training, regulatory monitoring, and flexible course creation for emerging requirements. Both platforms can complement each other based on specific training needs.
Do I need to fully switch from NAVEX?
No. Many teams use both platforms for different purposes. NAVEX provides enterprise GRC capabilities and standardised ethics training; CPDForge enables flexible training creation for organisation-specific needs. You can use both platforms based on your requirements.
