3. LEARN:  Every professional on Endorsings is currently working in the career they are teaching. Not retired. Not academic. Not someone who left the industry years ago. Someone doing the job right now.

Watch them teach their complete career journey — from their very first day in the field all the way through to where they stand today. The tools they actually use. The decisions that shaped their progression. The realities nobody tells you before you start. The shortcuts it took years to learn.

Complete real world projects designed by practitioners. Build a portfolio of genuine work. Develop the skills and knowledge that employers in your chosen field actually value.  

4. GET ENDORSED:  

When you have completed the learning pathway and demonstrated genuine capability — apply for your personal endorsement.

The professional who taught you reviews your work personally. They assess your projects, evaluate your understanding, and make a judgment call about your readiness. Not an algorithm. Not an automated certificate. A real person currently doing the job deciding whether to put their professional name behind yours.

If you are ready — they endorse you. That endorsement carries their name, their current role, their current employer, and a unique verification code that any employer can check instantly.

Endorsement fees range from £99 to £499 depending on the career path and level — charged only when you choose to apply. Never included in your monthly subscription.

5. GET HIRED:  

Your Endorsings endorsement goes further than any certificate.

Join our public Endorsed Professionals Registry — a searchable directory of endorsed candidates that employers across the UK and globally search to find verified talent. Your listing includes your endorsed career path, your portfolio of completed work, and the name and current role of the professional who personally vouched for your capability.

Use your endorsement in every job application. Reference it in every interview. Share your registry listing directly with hiring managers. It tells employers something your CV alone never could — that a real professional who does this job every day has looked at your work and said you are ready.
