Certification & Validation
Welcome to the Future of Certification & Validation for Healthcare Trainers.
We are delighted to announce from the 1 May 2017, our new certification and validation service will be available, setting new standards in combating serious certification fraud within the healthcare sector.
We have invested in the future of certification and validation for our 7,000 plus registered trainers to ensure we meet the rigorous requirements set by regulating / inspecting bodies to validate trainer’s competency on demand. We have an obligation to ensure these validation requests are met speedily, sufficiently and efficiently.
New certification and validation system
Our new certification and validation system will now allow not only regulating / inspecting bodies to have instant access, but also our registered trainers so they can validate their own registration and certification on demand.
To develop the processes required, we teamed up with one of the UK’s leading suppliers of secure certification and validation, who ensure many other well established awarding organisations have successfully introduced e-certification processes for their learners.
The new processes will ensure that our registered trainers are not left behind with regard to the benefits of new technology available. Working with our supplier, we have developed a validation process that allows for delivery of authenticated certificates electronically. It takes the issue of certificate authenticity very seriously, the certificates are provided in the form of a secure PDF file and this coupled with our authentication process means that we have done our utmost to protect certificates from most forms of tampering.
If you have recently purchased an e-Trainer Pack, have not yet submitted the trainer question paper and wish to acquire the new certification with your own unique personalised security features, you can request our centre support team to delay the process of your submitted paper until after 1 May 2017.
To check the validity of a certificate you will be able to go to our website 24/7 and click on a link for certificate validation instantly.
