02What it shows
What it shows, consent and how
What a record shows, and what it does not
- The course, its version and the date it was completed.
- That every assessed activity of that course was passed.
- Not competence in practice, which also rests on experience and supervision beyond any course.
The learner decides
Achievements and records are visible to the learner and to no one else until the learner opts in. A check from someone other than the learner goes ahead only with the learner’s agreement; without it, the reply confirms nothing about the person.
How to ask
Use the record check form with the details shown on the record. The request is recorded with a reference. Learners can also share a record themselves from their dashboard.

04Questions
Questions, answers and key terms
Is study here free?
Yes. Every course and learning material of Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium, is free to study, self-paced or with a cohort. Ordinary participation has no fee; paid work, internships and fellowships are separate arrangements.
What does completing a course give me?
A completion record: the course, its version, the date and what was assessed, private by default and shared by you. It stacks into discipline, department and programme achievements. A record states what was studied and assessed and does not certify competence; it is not a licence, a professional title or an employment status.
Where do the data and the places come from?
Every faculty teaches on a twin of a real place built from open data; each layer carries its provider, licence and date, and every result on the Academy states its source. Maps and figures are indicators for teaching, never an assessment of a place.
How do I take part beyond every course?
Form a competence cell of three to seven people, study a shared pathway, take a supervised assignment in the National Working Groups, or bring a cohort from your institution. For organisations.
