Trusted Beauty Professionals (TBP) - The CPD Register Review

Commercial Identification and Contactability

The organisation trades as Trusted Beauty Professionals (TBP) at trustedbeautyprofessionals.com. The legal company name "Trusted Beauty Professionals Ltd" is displayed in the footer copyright notice on all pages. However, the company registration number 14568960 is not displayed in the footer, on a dedicated contact page, or on the About Us page — it appears only within the body text of the Terms and Conditions at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/pages/policies-1, where a physical address (5 Brayford Square, E1 0SG), telephone number (07951863617), and email address are also referenced.

None of these contact details are visible in the site footer, on the Contact page, or in any location where a prospective customer would reasonably expect to find them. A secondary email address is cited as the designated contact address for Terms of Service queries, which is inconsistent with professional commercial practice.

The absence of the company registration number from the footer does not satisfy the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, sections 1200–1206, which require UK limited companies to display their registered company number on their website.

Transparency of Assessment Framework

No accreditation framework, assessment criteria, or methodology is published on the website. The Course Accreditation section does not describe what is assessed, what standards must be met, how assessment decisions are made, or who makes them.

The FAQ page states that applicants are required to submit course materials — including training manuals, lesson plans, and theory assessments — for review, and that the process can take between one week and 14 working days. However, no criteria against which those materials are assessed are published, and no pass or fail thresholds are disclosed. Prospective training providers are therefore unable to review the assessment framework before purchasing the service.

The About Us page states that all TBP-accredited educators and academies undergo an annual quality assurance review, but the criteria for that review are not published. A link to what appears to be a quality assurance document directs to an externally hosted Canva presentation rather than a page on the organisation's own website.

Pricing Transparency

Accreditation pricing is published and accessible via the main navigation (Course Accreditation > Training Course Accreditation > Build My Plan) at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/products/course-accreditation-membership. Pricing is structured around the number of courses to be accredited, with options ranging from 1 course to 15 courses and an unlimited tier, with prices displayed upon selecting a variant.

The term of accreditation is not specified on the pricing page. Whilst the FAQ states that accreditation is renewed annually, the product page does not confirm the duration of the accreditation period, meaning prospective customers cannot determine the full annual cost or contractual term from the pricing page alone.

Add-on pricing is also published: additional educators are listed at £79 per year and additional courses at £39 each, available at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/collections/accreditation-add-ons. Editable Training Packs are priced at £40 per pack.

Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions are published at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/pages/policies-1 and are accessible from the site footer via a "Policies" link without login or payment. However, the Terms and Conditions are a standard Shopify e-commerce template and are not tailored to the accreditation service being provided. They address general website use and digital product purchases but contain no provisions specific to: the duration of accreditation and the conditions governing it; the grounds on which accreditation may be withdrawn; the handling of course materials submitted for assessment; or the complaints and dispute resolution process specific to accreditation decisions.

The refund policy states that no refunds are permitted on digital products, with the exception that a full refund will be issued if the organisation is unable to accredit a course. No provision is made for circumstances in which accreditation is withdrawn after the accreditation period has commenced.

The complaints procedure is linked from the footer but directs to an externally hosted Canva document, which does not represent a stable or permanent publication. The Privacy Policy is hosted externally via termsfeed.com rather than on the organisation's own domain.

Individual Course Assessment

The organisation publishes a catalogue of course types it is willing to accredit at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/pages/courses-we-accredit. The catalogue covers 46 named course types across beauty, hair, aesthetics, theory, and online delivery categories, each assigned a TBP course code and linked to a course overview document. This page lists course types eligible for accreditation; it is not a register of courses that have been submitted, assessed, and approved.

No public register of individually accredited courses exists on the website. Training providers and learners cannot independently verify from the public record whether a specific course holds current TBP accreditation, or that individual course assessment has taken place.

The FAQ states that applicants submit course materials for review prior to accreditation being granted, but no assessment criteria or framework against which those materials are evaluated is published (see Section 2). It is therefore not possible to confirm from the public record that a defined assessment process is applied to each course submitted.

A content error was identified on the courses page at the time of this review: course TBP-B30, labelled as "Chemical Peel", links to a PDF document titled "Micro-Ring_Extensions.pdf", which appears to be an incorrect file assignment.

Review and Renewal

The organisation operates an annual renewal model. The FAQ states that accreditation must be renewed once a year and recommends initiating the renewal process at least seven days before expiry. A renewal product is available via the website at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/products/accreditation-renewals.

The About Us page states that all TBP-accredited educators and academies undergo an annual quality assurance review. The criteria applied during that review are not published (see Section 2).

Sale of Training Courses or Materials

Trusted Beauty Professionals Limited sells both teacher training courses and editable training materials through the same commercial platform from which its accreditation services are sold.

Editable Training Packs are sold at £40 per pack at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/pages/editable-training-manuals. These packs are explicitly described as containing "everything you need for accreditation" and include training manuals, lesson plans, theory assessments, and assessment schedules. The same organisation that sells these materials then assesses them as part of the accreditation process. This creates a direct and undisclosed conflict of interest: TBP derives commercial revenue from the sale of materials that it subsequently reviews and approves for accreditation. No statement is made on the website that course materials sourced from other providers are equally acceptable for accreditation purposes.

Teacher training courses are also sold by TBP and accredited by TBP itself. The TBP Beauty Educators Certificate — described on the website as equivalent to a Level 3 Award in Education and Training — is a TBP-developed and TBP-accredited course. No independent third-party accreditation of TBP's own teacher training courses is disclosed. This constitutes a self-accreditation arrangement.

Financial Relationships with Third-Party Service Providers

The organisation's homepage displays the logos of six insurance providers under the heading "In Partnership with": Insync Insurance, Westminster Insurance, Policy Bee, HPPB Insurance, Campion Insurance, and a further provider. The Insurance page at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/pages/insurance-providers lists these providers with contact details and, in at least two cases, referral links containing what appear to be introducer or affiliate codes: Westminster Insurance (?Introducer=8415) and Howden Insurance (?int=10875).

The presence of introducer codes in these URLs is consistent with affiliate or referral arrangements under which TBP may receive a financial benefit when accredited educators or their students obtain insurance through those links. No disclosure of any financial relationship with these insurance providers is made on the insurance page or elsewhere on the website. Training providers and learners directed to these insurers by TBP cannot determine whether the recommendation is commercially motivated.

Ownership or Control Relationships with Aligned Commercial Interests

The sole director and Person with Significant Control of Trusted Beauty Professionals Limited is Kyla Atlanta Stewart-Scott, appointed on 4th January 2023. She holds 75% or more of the shares and voting rights and has the right to appoint or remove directors. Her identity verification status is recorded as verified on Companies House. She is referred to publicly on the website under the first name Kai.

The organisation operates a related platform, the Educators Club, hosted at www.educatebytbp.com, described as a CPD learning space for beauty educators. Twelve months' access is stated to be complimentary with all TBP accreditation plans and is also available on a paid monthly subscription. The legal and commercial relationship between this platform and the accreditation entity — including whether it is operated by the same legal entity — is not disclosed on the website.

Consistency of Filings with Advertised Activity

Trusted Beauty Professionals Limited is registered at Companies House under SIC code 85600 (Educational support services), which is consistent with the accreditation and teacher training activities described on the website. The website states that TBP was founded in 2023, which is consistent with the Companies House incorporation date of 4th January 2023. Accounts to 31st January 2025 have been filed; the next accounts, made up to 31st January 2026, are due by 31st October 2026. The confirmation statement was last made on 3rd January 2026 and is next due by 17th January 2027.

Distinguishing CPD from Regulated Qualifications

The FAQ page states that accredited courses cannot be called qualifications and that the term "qualification" is reserved for Ofqual-regulated courses that adhere to the Regulated Qualifications Framework. However, this distinction is not consistently maintained across the website or its published materials.

The course overview documents linked from the Courses We Accredit page at https://trustedbeautyprofessionals.com/pages/courses-we-accredit are titled "qualification specification" within the PDFs themselves. The use of the term "qualification specification" in documents published by TBP to describe privately accredited beauty courses directly contradicts TBP's own stated position in the FAQ and is liable to mislead training providers and learners about the regulatory status of TBP-accredited courses.

Additionally, the TBP Beauty Educators Certificate is described as a "Level 3 Award in Education and Training equivalent" in its course description page. Describing a privately accredited course as "equivalent" to an Ofqual-regulated qualification is liable to mislead prospective customers about the regulatory status and transferability of the award. The Ofqual Level 3 Award in Education and Training is a qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework; TBP's course is not.

The FAQ also states: "Accreditation is a mandatory requirement for all training courses." This is presented as a statement of fact but is not accurate as a statement of law. Accreditation is a common commercial requirement of beauty insurance providers but carries no statutory basis.

Unsubstantiated Claims

The following claims on the website are not supported by verifiable evidence and raise concerns under CAP Code (Non-broadcast) Rules 3.1 (misleading advertising) and 3.7 (substantiation), which require that objective claims be capable of substantiation and that documentary evidence be held before publication.

"A leading Hair, Beauty, and Aesthetics Accreditation Board" — Used on both the homepage and the About Us page. TBP was incorporated in January 2023. No evidence is provided to substantiate a comparative leadership claim in relation to other accreditation providers operating in this sector.

"Combined experience of 30+ years across education and beauty" — The About Us page references this claim in relation to the TBP team, but the only named individual is the founder, whose biography cites five years as a teacher and six years in the beauty industry. The basis for the "30+ years combined" figure is not explained or substantiated.

"Rigorous standards" and "highest industry standards" — These claims appear on the homepage and About Us page. No published accreditation framework or independent validation of those standards is available on the website (see Section 2).

"Accreditation is a mandatory requirement for all training courses" — This statement in the FAQ is factually inaccurate as a statement of law. Accreditation is a common requirement of beauty insurance providers but carries no statutory basis.

"Level 3 Award in Education and Training equivalent" — The TBP Beauty Educators Certificate is described as equivalent to the Ofqual-regulated Level 3 AET. This equivalence claim is unsubstantiated and is addressed further in Section 14.
