Professional standards,
transparently assessed.
CBA UK awards professional certifications in finance, accounting, technology and management. Every programme publishes its exam blueprint and pass mark up front, and every credential we issue can be verified publicly by anyone.
A certification body, built in the open
Corporate Business Alliance is a UK certification body. We design professional credentials, publish what they assess, examine candidates against that published standard, and maintain a public register of everyone who holds one.
We are new. Rather than dress that up, we have made the things that usually stay private — assessment domains, weightings, pass marks, expiry rules — public from the first day. A credential is only worth what an employer can check, so we made ours checkable.
Founded
2026
Our first three programmes open for enrolment this year, each with its exam blueprint published in full before a single place is sold.
What we offer
Three ways to work with us
Certifications
Credentials with a published exam blueprint, a stated pass mark, and a fixed three-year validity period. You can read exactly what is assessed before you pay.

Self-paced study guides, worked examples and practice questions mapped domain-by-domain to the blueprint. Buy them with an exam, or on their own.

The process
From enrolment to verified
01
Choose a programme
Read the published blueprint and decide whether the domains match what you already know.
02
Prepare
Study self-paced with our materials, train with an accredited provider, or prepare independently.
03
Sit the exam
Redeem your voucher within twelve months. Questions are drawn at random from a large item bank.
04
Get verified
Pass and your credential goes into the public registry, where any employer can confirm it.
Our standards
What we will not do
Plenty of certification sites display accreditation badges nobody can trace and testimonials from people who do not exist. We would rather tell you exactly how our assessment works and let you judge it.
Read the full standards policyEvery blueprint is public
Each programme publishes its assessment domains and their exact percentage weightings before you buy. No programme goes live with an incomplete blueprint.
Every credential is verifiable
Each pass gets a unique ID and a permanent public verification page. Employers confirm a credential in seconds without contacting us.
Pass marks are set, not guessed
Cut scores are set by a documented standard-setting panel rather than picked to hit a target pass rate, and the pass mark is printed on the programme page.
Credentials expire
Certification lasts three years, then requires recertification. A credential that never lapses stops telling an employer anything current.
For training providers
Deliver CBA UK programmes to your students
Accredited training providers deliver our programmes under their own brand, buy exam vouchers at wholesale, and appear in our public provider directory. Applications are vetted — we publish who is accredited, and for which programmes.
What providers get
- Wholesale exam voucher pricing
- Listing in the public provider directory
- Instructor materials mapped to each blueprint
- A portal for bulk voucher purchase and candidate tracking
- Use of the accredited provider mark, for as long as accreditation is current
