How this works
Consent is a gate, not a default.
Your profile stays yours.
You decide what appears, you can change it whenever you like, and it stays accurate because you are the one editing it.
- Private on import
- Finishing a course does not put you on this website. Your record starts private and stays that way until you decide otherwise.
- You publish yourself
- You claim your own record with the ID on your certificate, then choose exactly what appears. You can hide it again at any time.
- You choose the detail
- Photograph, current role, where you are, the story of how you got there. Add what you want, leave out what you do not.
- Counted either way
- Everyone who came through is counted in the figures on our impact page. Aggregates never need your name.
