Frequently asked questions

Straight answers, no small print surprises.

How do I verify a certificate someone has shown me?

Use the verify tool at the top of this page: type the certificate ID printed under the QR code, or simply scan the QR code with a phone camera. The result comes from our live records, so an expired, altered or invented certificate fails the check.

How do I check a company is really a member?

Search the member register (top of this page, right-hand side) by company name or IPM number. You will see whether the membership is Active or Lapsed, the plan, and how many staff are on their roster. If a company displays the Registered Member logo but does not appear in the register, ask them for their membership certificate.

Is there really a free course?

Yes. The complete BS 7858:2019 Security Screening & Vetting course, exam and certificate are free, no card details needed. It exists so you can judge the quality of every other course before spending anything.

What does a course cost?

Individual courses are Β£29.99 each (launch offer, normally Β£69.99) with the certificate included. Teams get the whole catalogue for every employee at Β£30 a month or Β£300 a year.

What happens if someone fails an exam?

Retakes are free, on every plan, until they pass. Certificates are only ever issued on a genuine pass.

How long do certificates last?

12 months. Learners get an automatic reminder 30 days before expiry, and team managers see upcoming renewals on their dashboard and training matrix.

Do my employees need email addresses?

No. Officers and site staff sign in with a simple access code their manager gives them, no email needed. Managers and individual learners use a normal email sign-in.

What are the team plan terms?

The subscription runs for a 12-month term (monthly or annual billing) with a 7-day cancellation window at the start. Full terms are on the terms page and linked in your welcome email.

Judge the quality yourself, free.
