Editorial Policy

Thecohortroom publishes factual reference material about online courses and credentials. Our scope is defined by the provider, the course content, and the recognition status of the resulting credential. We do not publish betting or gambling content, speculative health, legal or financial advice presented as instruction, material about individuals' private lives, or invented quotes. Our content is structured into sections including Providers, Subjects, and Credentials to aid user navigation.

We maintain a clear separation between reference material and reporting. Reference pages, such as those for a specific provider or course, contain verified, static information about structures, costs, and official recognition. Our news section reports on developments within the sector, such as new course launches or changes in accreditation. All news reporting is sourced and distinct from our permanent reference resources.

When a claim cannot be independently verified from primary or authoritative secondary sources, it is not published. We do not present rumour or unsubstantiated assertion as fact. For images, we use real photographs and always provide a credit where one exists and is required. We will never publish a software-generated image depicting a real person's face, to maintain integrity and avoid misinformation.

All practical guidance within our Studying successfully or Practicalities sections is presented as general information only. It is not personalised instruction and should not be construed as professional advice for an individual's specific circumstances. Readers must consult relevant authorities or institutions for definitive guidance on their personal, legal, or financial matters.

Readers with corrections, suggestions, or queries regarding our content are invited to contact the editorial team via the contact form provided on thecohortroom website. We review all substantive feedback and are committed to correcting errors promptly to ensure the reference information remains accurate and useful.
