Every claim needs an evidence route.

CRA separates training completed, permission to deliver, course recognition and public wording so one is never used to imply another.

Evidence register

What CRA currently records.

The final register will add certificate numbers, dates, expiry or renewal requirements and the exact public wording permitted by each provider.

Instructor pathway

Evidence supplied by the founder; exact course title, current status and authorised delivery scope to be reproduced from documents.

Document detail pending

Canine route

This states an individual training record only. It does not claim that CRA or a CRA course is NASDU approved.

Wording permission pending

Additional training

Relevant to skills development; course provider, syllabus, date and how it may support CRA delivery remain evidence-controlled.

Scope review pending
