Before you send your course

Send a little more, get back a lot more.

A readiness audit can only check what your materials show. Here's what to gather so your evidence file comes back as complete as possible — and a straight answer on what stays out of scope, and why, no matter what you send.

The quick scan · all you need to start

Just send your course

Want a fast first look? Send one course and nothing else. We map it against the Standards and tell you exactly what we could check — and exactly what to add next. You'll see real findings either way.

That's the whole quick path. The checklist below is optional.

Or gather a few more things

If you'd rather close more gaps up front, the checklist below shows what helps and what each item unlocks. Add as much or as little as you like — most are facts you already know.

Optional: what helps us check more

You don't need any of this to start — send just your course and the report tells you what's missing. This is a reference list if you'd rather close more gaps up front. Each item notes what it unlocks; add as many or as few as you like.

The essentials — these unlock the most
  • The complete course materials

    All module text and the course structure — not just the outline. This is the single biggest one: the outline alone leaves most checks pending.

    Unlocks the most — content, length, credit math, engagement
  • How the course is delivered

    Self-study, group live, or blended. This decides which rules even apply — and keeps the report from grading your course against the wrong ones.

    Sets which standards are in scope
  • The credit you currently claim

    The CPE credit (or CEUs) your course awards today. We recompute it from the materials and compare — the check that most often surfaces a finding.

    Unlocks the credit recomputation
Quick details — usually facts you already know
  • The program level

    Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Update, or Overview.

    Unlocks the level & disclosure checks
  • Prerequisites & advance preparation

    What a participant needs going in — or simply "none."

    Unlocks the advance-disclosure checks
  • The final assessment

    The exam itself, or at least its question count and passing grade.

    Unlocks completion verification
  • Audio / video runtimes

    Minutes of any required audio or video — or "none." These count toward credit.

    Sharpens the credit math
  • The participant-facing description

    The course description or registration page a participant sees before enrolling.

    Unlocks the advance-disclosure checks
  • Completion documentation

    The completion certificate format and the course's expiration or access policy.

    Unlocks the documentation checks

That's the whole list — and you don't need all of it. Send your course with whatever you have in hand, and the report tells you exactly what's still pending.

Even a complete submission leaves a few items "pending" — and that's correct

A per-course audit can't check everything, and it shouldn't pretend to. Two kinds of requirement stay out of scope no matter what you send, and your report will name them plainly rather than hide them:

Sponsor-level requirements — things like who reviewed the content, your instructors' qualifications, and your recordkeeping — are evaluated once for your whole organization at the registry level, not course by course.

Rules for other formats — group, blended, nano-learning, pilot-tested, or purchased content — simply don't apply to your course, so they're marked "not applicable," not counted against you.

Your evidence file separates these from anything still awaiting materials, so "pending" is always a short, clear list of what to send next — never a surprise.
