About this early version and privacy
Delirium Academy does not currently provide formal CPD certification. This may be introduced in the future. The printable item produced after a passing score is a personal completion record, not formal CPD certification.
Within a module, names, answers and scores are processed only in the current browser page and are not sent to or stored by Delirium Academy. As with ordinary websites, hosting and security services may retain standard access logs; these do not contain quiz answers or the name entered on the completion record.
