No "did somebody edit the date?"
Once issued, the record can't be altered. Issuance timestamp, issuer identity, and credential fields are locked in on-chain.
CPD cycles repeat every year. So do audits. TRUE helps insurance brokerages, financial advisory firms, and CPD training providers issue blockchain-secured CPD certificates that hold up under regulatory scrutiny — instantly verifiable, fully branded, and automated through your existing LMS.
CPD isn't a nice-to-have for insurance distributors and financial advisors, it's a recurring regulatory obligation. EU IDD requires 15+ hours of CPD per year. UK FCA, Australia's ASIC, and US state regulators run their own variations. Every cycle creates a new evidence trail your compliance team has to defend. Most teams still rely on PDFs, spreadsheets, and inbox screenshots, that breaks the moment a regulator, a senior auditor, or an acquiring firm asks for proof.
Each CPD certificate is written to blockchain, so it can't be quietly edited, backdated, or reissued after the fact.
Aligned with EU electronic identification and trust services standards for compliant digital evidence.
Anyone can confirm authenticity via QR code or verification portal, without contacting your team.
Certificates live on the issuer's domain, not TRUE's, so the audit trail points back to you.
TRUE doesn't promise we satisfy IDD, MiFID II, FCA, ASIC, or any other named regulation, that's between you, your compliance officer, and your regulator. We do say TRUE supports the evidence side of those obligations: tamper-proof issuance and frictionless verification.
CPD programs follow a predictable rhythm. TRUE plugs into that rhythm without forcing a new platform on your trainers or learners.
TRUE integrates with Canvas, Moodle, and Learnster. A 5-endpoint REST API covers anything custom.
When an advisor completes a course or hits an annual hour threshold, your LMS calls TRUE. Certificate issued in seconds.
The advisor receives a branded certificate page on your own domain, not a generic PDF, not a TRUE-branded link.
Compliance officers, regulators, or M&A teams scan the QR code. Credential, issuer, and timestamp display immediately.
TRUE supports the full range of CPD documents distributed firms typically issue.
Annual hour evidence for EU insurance distributors operating under the Insurance Distribution Directive.
Records for investment firms and advisors operating under EU markets-in-financial-instruments standards.
Recurring refreshers for advisors and back-office staff. Bulk issuance keeps annual programmes practical.
Sensitive topics where evidence matters most. Tamper-proof records show what was completed, by whom, and when.
State, national, and EU programmes. Verifiable evidence for licensing boards and renewal cycles.
Specialist credentials for advisors handling long-horizon products that require ongoing competency proof.
Internal expertise tracks issued at scale across advisors and investment teams.
For bodies running multi-firm training and accreditation. Centralised dashboard for consistent issuance.
Blockchain matters because of what it gives a compliance team under pressure.
Once issued, the record can't be altered. Issuance timestamp, issuer identity, and credential fields are locked in on-chain.
The credential is permanently retrievable via its link or QR code. No file servers to search, no inboxes to dig through.
The evidence isn't tied to your file server, your LMS vendor, or any single system. The blockchain record is independent.
Verification is public, instant, and doesn't depend on your team being available. Auditors verify themselves in seconds.
TRUE writes documents to established blockchains (Ethereum, AVAX, Fantom, Polygon). Recipients and verifiers don't need to know anything about blockchain to use the certificate, they just click a link or scan a code.
What changes when CPD evidence is automated and audit-ready.
| Capability | PDF CPD certificate | TRUE CPD certificate |
|---|---|---|
| Tamper-proof | Editable in any PDF tool | Blockchain-anchored, immutable |
| Regulator verification | Manual check, slow | QR or URL, seconds |
| Annual hour tracking | Spreadsheet reconciliation | Structured metadata per certificate |
| Lives on your domain | No domain | Yes, branded URL on your firm's domain |
| LinkedIn-shareable | Static image, low engagement | One-click Add to LinkedIn |
| Renewal automation | Manual reissuing each cycle | REST API + LMS integration |
| M&A due diligence | Inconsistent file shares | Permanent, public, verifiable |
| Long-term verifiability | Records degrade as firms change systems | Permanently verifiable on-chain |
CPD obligations aren't going away. Make the evidence as durable as the obligation — from the moment of issuance, forever.
CPD evidence is judged by your compliance, audit, and risk functions. TRUE is built around what those teams ask for.
Issuance timestamps, issuer identity, and credential fields are locked in. No edits, no backdating, no missing evidence.
Relevant for EU-regulated entities working under common trust standards. Aligned with electronic identification and trust services.
TRUE's own security posture is independently certified by OneMore Secure. We work to the same standards we help our customers prove.
Keeps your firm's identity in front of advisors, recipients, and any third party that verifies a credential.
See when, where, and by whom certificates are opened or shared. Useful for renewal nudges and engagement reporting.
Issue annually, quarterly, or per-event without manual work. The REST API handles thousands of certificates in one workflow.
Trust signals like Bolagsverket (Sweden's government registration authority, working with TRUE on government blockchain initiatives) and SSF (a regulated industry authority) underline that TRUE is built for environments where the evidence has to stand up. See how the same approach works for digital credentials in regulated industries.
Common questions from brokerages, advisory firms, and CPD providers evaluating digital CPD certificates.
No platform can claim it "satisfies" a named regulation, only your regulator can decide that. TRUE supports the evidence side of those regimes by providing tamper-proof, instantly verifiable proof of issuance with an immutable audit trail.
If you use Canvas, Moodle, or Learnster, TRUE integrates directly. For other systems, the REST API has 5 simple endpoints, most engineering teams ship the integration in days, not months.
TRUE provides secure, verifiable digital documents and is eIDAS compliant within the EU's electronic identification and trust services framework. Legal validity in any specific use case depends on your jurisdiction and internal policies, confirm with your compliance counsel.
No. TRUE supports custom branding on the issuer's own domain, so CPD certificates appear as part of your firm's brand, not ours. That keeps the audit trail pointing at the actual issuer.
Once issued, each certificate is written to blockchain and can't be edited. PDFs can be altered with free tools, a TRUE certificate cannot. That's the practical difference for an auditor.
Yes. Recipients get a shareable verified link they can post on LinkedIn, include in proposals, or pass to a new employer. Verification is public and permanent.
TRUE is a Swedish company headquartered in Stockholm, operating under EU data protection standards. The TRUE Cyber Hygiene Certification (by OneMore Secure) is one of the security signals we publish.
Pilot programs typically run on dashboard or email-based issuing within days. Full LMS-integrated automation depends on your stack, but most CPD providers are issuing live certificates within a few weeks of starting.
If your firm issues CPD certificates to insurance distributors, financial advisors, mortgage brokers, or pension specialists — make the evidence as durable as the obligation.
