Quick answer: GeraLearn is an online learning platform for UK professionals and career-changers. We do not hold Ofqual recognition for regulated qualifications yet — our certificates are employer-recognised CPD (Continuing Professional Development), not RQF-listed awards. Individual learners pay £15/month; employers £9/seat/month on teams of 10+. We align content with Skills Bootcamp digital-outcome benchmarks where relevant.

The UK regulatory and policy context

Ofqual / QAA — regulators of RQF qualifications and higher-education standards. GeraLearn certificates are not currently RQF-listed; they are CPD. Where UK learners require a regulated qualification (GCSE, A-level, NVQ, BTEC, HNC/HND), we signpost to awarding organisations rather than claim to issue them.
Apprenticeship Levy — UK employers with a pay bill over £3 million pay 0.5% levy. GeraLearn content cannot be funded directly from Levy, but we commonly supplement Levy-funded apprenticeships with additional skill coverage on specific tools and frameworks.
Skills Bootcamps (DfE) — short, flexible, government-funded programmes in digital, technical, construction and green skills. We build alignment between GeraLearn paths and Skills Bootcamp outcome statements so prospective learners can compare.
UK GDPR / ICO — learner progress and identity data processed under UK GDPR with ICO registration. Transcripts downloadable in PDF and JSON-LD.
Equality Act 2010 accessibility — lessons meet WCAG 2.1 AA, with captions, transcripts and keyboard navigation on every video.
