Yes. The full eight-section audit, fully free. No credit card. The checklist is yours to keep, whether or not you ever take the paid programme.

Is this England-only?

Yes. The licensing detail and regulator landscape is specific to England, the Special Treatments Licence regime, the upcoming national licensing scheme, the JCCP / CPSA framework, ICO registration, ASA jurisdiction. Practitioners in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland will find the principles useful but the licensing detail differs.

Will I get a certificate?

The audit doesn't include a Certificate of Completion, that sits with the full RAG Pathway. The audit is designed as a gap-analysis tool, not a CPD module.

What's the difference between this and the full RAG Pathway?

The audit gives you the gap-analysis: where you stand, what's missing, what to fix first. The full RAG Pathway (4 weeks, paid) gives you the documents, governance systems, and templates to actually close the gaps, including ASA-safe marketing modules and JCCP-aligned operating standards.

Transformation
Before → After
Before the course
Hoping the incoming national licensing scheme won't apply to your clinic.
After the course
Already aligned with the scope of practitioner and premises licensing England is proposing. By design, not by accident.
Transformation
Before → After
Before the course
Treating compliance as paperwork to dread.
After the course
Treating compliance as the framework that protects your reputation, not a burden you keep postponing.

“You don't need to be perfect. You need to be defensible. The audit shows you where the gap actually is, before someone else decides for you.”
