Verification is not for sale
Provider and Trainer verification follows ownership, identity or evidence checks. Buying a membership never buys verified status.
Trust should be visible, not assumed
RateMyTraining separates independent reviews, verification and commercial membership so people can see what each trust signal actually means.
Live platform figures
We only publish headline totals once there is enough live data for the figures to be meaningful.
Paid plans do not affect ratings
Membership can unlock tools, analytics and profile features. It does not increase a review score, recommendation rate or comparison position.
Invited is not the same as verified
A Trainer or Provider may invite somebody to leave a review. That invitation is disclosed, but it does not prove attendance and gives the review no extra scoring weight.
Claimed is not the same as endorsed
A claimed profile means the person or organisation controls its listing. Claiming a profile does not change independent reviews or mean RateMyTraining endorses it.
Reviews are moderated
Reviews may be checked for duplication, abuse, conflicts, suspicious activity and clear factual issues. A Provider response never edits the original published review.
Commercial content is separated
Sponsorship or promoted content must be labelled and kept separate from independent rating, verification and review moderation.
What the trust signals mean
V
Verified profile
RateMyTraining has completed the relevant ownership or identity verification checks for that profile.
E
Verified experience
The review carries an additional experience-verification signal. This is separate from the star rating itself.
I
Invited review
The review journey began through a Trainer or Provider invitation link. Invitation status does not verify the experience.
