Trainer register

Checking a trainer.

The trainer register records the trainers the Training Industry Body has approved, and whether that approval is current. Look a trainer up by the register reference they give you, or by surname.

The reference starts TIB-T- followed by eight letters and numbers. You can leave out the TIB-T- and the hyphens, and it does not matter whether you use capitals.

Enter the full surname. The search matches whole names only, and shows at most 20 trainers.

What the register shows

  • » Approved — we have checked the trainer's credentials and approved them to deliver the courses shown, until the date shown.
  • » Expired — the registration reached its end date (for example, a qualification or insurance it relies on ran out) and has not yet been renewed. This is not a finding against the trainer.
  • » Suspended — TIB has paused the approval while a matter is dealt with. We do not publish the reason.
  • » Withdrawn — the trainer is no longer registered. Withdrawn entries stay visible for two years.
  • » Publication on this register is a condition of registration — see our Trainer Registration Terms.

What this check tells you

The register is our own record of our decisions, so it is the place to confirm a trainer's status — not a certificate, a website or an email. It shows only what is needed to confirm that status: no contact details, no employer, and no reasons for a suspension or withdrawal.

To check a certificate rather than a trainer, use certificate verification.
