How it works

Three steps, start to signed PDF

No spreadsheets, no chasing paper forms in a filing cabinet.

01

Set up your portal

Register and get your own branded delegate portal — your name, your organisation, ready in minutes.

02

Invite your delegates

Send each candidate a link. They work through the standards checklist for their course on their own device.

03

Review, sign, done

You review their submission, sign off, and their certified PDF is generated and emailed automatically.

What's included

Everything a course sign-off actually needs

01

Your own branded portal

Delegates see your name and organisation, not ours — on their own subdomain.

02

Signed PDFs, sent automatically

Sign off a submission and the finished, locked PDF is emailed straight to your delegate.

03

D&TA accreditation built in

Accredited courses map straight onto the Design & Technology Association's own standards.

04

Your own resource library

Attach handouts and reference material per course — delegates see them right on their checklist.

05

Search your full history

Find any past candidate by name, email, or school in seconds — not by digging through email threads.

06

GDPR-conscious by default

Collect only what you need — including the option to skip home addresses on D&TA courses, since D&TA already holds them.

Why trainers switch

Built for the way you actually run a course

No more chasing signatures

Delegates complete and submit their own checklist. You review and sign — nothing to print, scan, or post.

Works on any device

Delegates fill in their portal on a phone, tablet, or laptop — no app to install.

You stay the trainer of record

Every sign-off carries your name and signature. Maker Safety is the paperwork, not the assessment.

Set up once, reuse every course

Your portal, resources, and D&TA settings carry over from one course date to the next.

FAQ

Common questions

What does it cost?

Pricing is invoiced per submission on a Starter or Pro plan, agreed with you directly — there's no fixed public list price yet. Request access and we'll confirm your rate before you're live.

Do I have to be D&TA-accredited to use this?

No. Any D&T or workshop safety course can run through the portal. D&TA accreditation support is there if your course needs it, not a requirement to sign up.

What happens to my delegates' data?

Only what's needed to run the course is collected, and you can turn off home-address collection for D&TA-accredited courses since D&TA already holds it. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

How long does setup take?

A registration request is usually reviewed and approved within a day or two. Once approved, your portal is ready as soon as you set a password.

Can more than one trainer at my organisation use it?

Each trainer registers their own portal today. If you need several trainers under one organisation, mention it when you request access and we'll talk through the best setup.
