## Questions

### Does this course name the register I should use?

No. Registers differ by profession, state and country. The course shows how to find the official register for the provider you are checking.

### Does a match in the register mean the provider is right for me?

No. It helps confirm identity and standing. Whether the provider fits your needs is a separate question that you ask the provider.

### Is this a professional qualification?

No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It is not a licence, an accreditation or medical, legal or financial advice.
