CPD certified courses created by Graham and Vivianne Johnson
With nearly two decades of hands on experience in vetting, screening and recruitment risk, we built this training to reflect what really happens when compliance meets real world decisions. Training that helps you meet regulatory duties, pass audits and make confident, defensible decisions when documents, people and processes are not always what they seem.
We ran screening, vetting and compliance companies for nearly twenty years (2006–2024), working with organisations where hiring and trust decisions genuinely mattered.
We kept seeing the same problem: people responsible for compliance and screening decisions without proper training. They had the job title but not the knowledge to back it up. Generic courses taught policy language but not how to handle mismatched documents, employment gaps, or risk decisions with incomplete information. So in 2025, we built Vetting Hub.
What We Do Differently
Every course comes from real situations we've navigated—identity fraud, forged documents, unclear risk calls. We teach professional judgement, not box-ticking. All training is CPD certified and UKRLP registered with instant, recognised certificates. You leave with clarity, consistency and confidence.
