CPQ Public Credential Registry & Verification Policy
Defines public registry fields and separation between educational certificate verification and professional credential status
1. Two Separate Registries
Document basis: CPQ institutional files and diploma cards, Discover Your Professional Path in Coaching, Ethics of Coaching Law, and CPQ's published professional content. New numeric or procedural requirements not already fixed in the source materials are presented as proposed CPQ internal policy for external review, not as a claim of recognition or equivalence by another body.
The existing programme/diploma certificate verification continues. A separate CPQ-T registry is added. An educational certificate number does not create a professional credential record unless a credential decision has been made.
2. Public Fields
- Credential ID
- Name as approved for public display
- CPQ-T Tier
- Status
- Award date
- Expiry/Renewal date
- Approved specialisation badges
- Verification timestamp
Client-hour details, client identities and assessment files are not public.
3. Status Definitions
Active: valid. Renewal Due: in renewal window. Expired: validity ended. Suspended: temporarily suspended. Revoked: credential withdrawn by final decision. The registry or badge does not disclose sanction reasons unless publication policy allows it.
4. Credential Mark Use
Tier marks may be used only while status is Active and in the approved form. They must be removed or updated after expiry, suspension or revocation, and may not be combined with “equivalent to” or “recognised by” claims without separate documented evidence.
