BS 5385
Written against the British Standard for wall and floor tiling. Alignment is our own mapping and implies no endorsement.
Applies to: Tiling that does not crack or leak
Accreditation, stated honestly
Most training sites in this sector display a wall of logos. Very few explain what any of them mean, and some of them mean nothing at all. This page tells you exactly what we hold today, what we have applied for, and what is only a mapping we have made ourselves.
What each status means
- held
- The accreditation is in place today and we can evidence it on request.
- applied
- An application has been submitted and is under assessment. It is not a badge yet and we do not display it as one.
- aligned
- Our content is mapped to a published framework. The mapping is ours. It carries no assurance, verification or endorsement from the body that owns the framework, and in some cases that body explicitly prohibits implying otherwise.
- planned
- On our roadmap. Not applied for yet. Listed here so you can see what is coming and hold us to it.

Three things we will not do
We will not imply an endorsement we do not have. Skills for Health state that a commercial provider may say its content delivers the outcomes described in the Core Skills Training Framework, but may not imply assurance, verification or endorsement from them. We follow that wording exactly, which is why our statutory courses say aligned and never accredited.
We will not claim to be NMC approved. Nobody can be. The Nursing and Midwifery Council does not accredit CPD providers or courses. Any provider claiming NMC approval is misrepresenting the position, and you should treat everything else they tell you with the same caution.
We will not sell a certificate for something that must be assessed in person. Basic life support, hoisting, and the observed practice elements of the Care Certificate cannot be signed off by a website. Our certificates for those courses say so on their face and on the verification page.
What we are working towards
Our roadmap, in order: registration on the UK Register of Learning Providers and with the Information Commissioner's Office, Cyber Essentials certification, then CPD accreditation for the catalogue, then Skills for Care endorsement for the adult social care courses, and finally approved centre status with an Ofqual recognised awarding organisation so that regulated qualifications can be delivered rather than knowledge courses alone.
That last step is the one that would let a Level 3 Diploma issued here genuinely count. It is also the most demanding, and we would rather tell you it is years away than imply we are there.
