About aircpd
We are here to disrupt.
The way CPD is tracked has not changed in thirty years. Professionals fill in a spreadsheet at the end of the year, or retype their log into a body portal, from memory, with no evidence attached. We are building the thing that replaces that.
Where this came from
We saw the same problem from two sides.
One of us spent years inside a professional body, watching members struggle to reconstruct a year of CPD from memory the week before the deadline. The body could not see what members had actually done. Members could not easily show it.
The other came from compliance software, where the same gap was visible from the employer's side. The LMS showed what people had completed inside it. Nothing else. An auditor asking for the full picture got a partial answer, because that was all the system could produce.
We built aircpd because the answer already existed: in the calendar invite, the certificate in a folder, the QR code at the door of a conference. Nobody needed to invent a new behaviour. Someone just needed to be watching for the trace, and to ask the person to confirm it.
What we are here to do
Mission
Make compliance evidence automatic, portable and honest for every regulated professional in the world.
Vision
A world where no professional loses a licence because they forgot to file the evidence for learning they actually did.
What we believe
Four things we will not compromise on.
The record belongs to the person
An account is always rooted in a personal identity, never a work email. The record outlasts any job. When someone changes employer, the CPD they earned goes with them, not with the organisation that paid for the seat.
Honesty over convenience
We tell you what we found. We do not round it up. We do not file it silently. If the evidence is thin, the record shows that. A compliance tool that flatters you is worse than no compliance tool at all.
Evidence, not assertions
Every entry in an aircpd record has a source. A conference has a badge or a QR check-in. A completed course has a certificate. A peer confirmation comes from a named person who was in the room. We do not accept "I did this" as evidence, because a regulator will not either.
Disruption with a reason
We are not disrupting CPD because disruption is fashionable. We are disrupting it because the current system wastes professionals' time, produces thinner compliance evidence than the truth, and makes organisations buy a seat for every employee, on a three-year contract. There is a better way to do this, and we have built it.
What we are committed to
Five things that are true by design, not by policy.
Your reflection is always yours.
aircpd prompts reflection, transcribes voice notes and tidies grammar. It never writes the substance. Not now, not in any future version, not for any reason. A fabricated reflection is worse than no reflection at all.
Nothing is filed until you say so.
Everything aircpd finds goes to a review queue. It waits for you. You confirm, edit or decline. Nothing moves without a human decision.
Nothing is sent without your approval.
At the end of a cycle, you review the assembled submission and you approve it. The organisation reads exactly what you approved. No surprises, no automatic dispatch.
Organisations see status, never substance.
An employer or professional body gets an aggregate view: on track, at risk, lapsed. They never read your reflections, your evidence notes, or the detail of what you did. The only thing they ever see at the individual level is a submission you explicitly approved and sent.
The record travels with you.
Change employer, change membership body, change career. Your CPD record is yours. The organisation that paid for the compliance view never owned the record. They bought a window. You own the room.
Why now
CPD compliance has been broken for decades. The tools to fix it now exist.
Thirty-nine professional bodies across the UK and Ireland have genuinely different rules: flat annual hours, category floors and ceilings, five-year rolling windows, career-stage tiers, bodies that count pieces rather than hours. The Engineering Council alone publishes five different rulebooks because five of its institutions disagree on what counts.
Every one of those rulebooks lives in aircpd as configuration, not code. A new regulator is a review task, not a development project. That is also what makes this a global product rather than a UK one.
The mechanism already works. Learning leaves a trace everywhere it happens: in a calendar invite, a certificate, a QR code at the door of a conference. Nobody needed to build a new behaviour. We built something that watches for the trace and asks the person to confirm it.
That is what we mean by automatic. Not invented. Found.
Tell us which door is yours.
We are building for three audiences: individual professionals who need their record to write itself, employers who need compliance evidence beyond what an LMS can see, and professional bodies who need to give every member a CPD tool without building one. If any of those sounds like you, we would like to show you what we have built.
