Certification
Certificates, validity and refreshers
Each course states how participants are assessed, how long the certificate is valid and how to renew it.
What participants receive
Participants who complete a course, and pass its assessment where the course has one, receive a certificate from LiftPlan Pro recording the participant's name, the course, the date, the trainer and the validity period. A record of each certificate is kept so that employers can confirm it.
Certificates confirm completion of LiftPlan Pro training. They are not a qualification from a third-party accreditation body unless a course page says so.
