Participant evaluation
Structured post-training evaluation linked to trainer, client, program, date, and cohort.
Credential standards
What a GTF credential must prove.
GTF credentials are designed to show training delivery experience, participant response, learning evidence, workplace transfer, outcome evidence, ethics standing, and annual renewal. A badge or credential claim is valid only when the public registry shows an active record.
Credential criteria
Recognition is based on evidence, not membership fees.
First-year credentialing may accept submitted existing data on trust basis. Renewal must use GTF evaluation records or an approved equivalent system that preserves cohort identity, rating data, export, and audit access.
