How it works

  1. 1

    Set up your organisation, locations, scope and chosen certification pathway.

  2. 2

    Record competent people, Lead responsibilities, qualifications and supervision.

  3. 3

    Manage each project through the modules you undertake and retain the required evidence.

  4. 4

Dashboards, reminders and evidence checks will show overdue competence records, missing project information, unresolved defects, subcontractor concerns and other items that need attention.

Important status statement

SP203 Ready is an independent compliance-management platform developed by Lumacore Group Ltd. It does not award certification, perform Certification Body audits or guarantee BAFE registration, SSAIB certification or NSI approval. Certification decisions remain with the appointed Certification Body and BAFE registration process.
