Deciding who builds your next regulated CPD or certification programme is rarely all-or-nothing. Answer eight questions about your team, your timeline, and the programme itself, and this tool will show where your situation sits on the spectrum from building in-house to partnering the design and production out — with the reasoning behind it.
One thing first. Whatever this tool suggests, your subject-matter authority stays in-house. The standards, the interpretation, the judgement about what a member must be able to demonstrate — that is yours and never gets outsourced. The question below is only about who does the design and production work that turns that authority into a programme.
A short answer set is a starting point, not a verdict. The Programme Design Diagnostic works through this properly for your specific programme — what stays in-house, what is right to partner, and how a partnered build is structured so the institute ends up owning the outcome rather than a permanent supplier dependency.
