The honest problem

Most organisations manage project capability by instinct and assumption.

You know your team is good. You just cannot prove it, see where the gaps are, or point to anything structured when the board asks.

01

You cannot see what your team can actually do

Job titles and years of experience tell you almost nothing about genuine capability. When a complex programme lands, you are guessing who can lead it. Calibrate gives each person a validated competency profile across eight structured areas — not self-reported, evidence reviewed by a designated reviewer inside your organisation.

02

CPD is a spreadsheet scramble at renewal time

Your team is doing the work. The development is happening. But when the annual cycle comes around, nobody can demonstrate it coherently. Calibrate tracks CPD automatically as evidence is added, so renewal is a summary not a reconstruction.

03

Development conversations have no foundation

Without a shared framework, PDRs default to gut feel and generic goals. Calibrate gives managers and team members a structured, evidence-based picture of where they are and what the next level looks like — so development conversations have something real to work with.

For the organisation

What Calibrate does for the people running the team.

These are the capabilities your admins, team leads, and line managers have in the platform from day one.

📊
Visibility

Team competency heat map, validated not self-assessed

See your team's confirmed competency levels across all eight IPP framework areas in a single dashboard. Only validated evidence counts. Self-assessed levels are visible but clearly distinguished. Filterable by individual, area, and role benchmark.

Governance

Internal reviewer workflows, built into the platform

Designate reviewers inside your organisation. Evidence submissions route to them for validation. Approved evidence updates the profile. Rejected evidence is returned with feedback. A clean, auditable process — no email chains.

📈
CPD Compliance

Automated CPD tracking across the whole team

Every piece of validated evidence contributes to CPD hours automatically. Compliance dashboards show who is on track, who is behind, and what is outstanding. No more spreadsheets at renewal time.

🎯
Development Planning

Gap analysis and structured development pathways

Compare where each person is against the framework level they are targeting. Identify gaps. Assign learning. Track progress. Development conversations have a foundation instead of starting from a blank page.

For the individual

What your team members get from being on Calibrate.

A seat is not just a management tool. It is something genuinely useful to the person using it — which is why they engage with it rather than tolerate it.

Credibility

A verified record of what they can actually do

Not a CV. Not a job title. A structured, evidence-backed competency profile across eight professional areas, validated by a real reviewer. Something they can point to when going for their next role, internally or externally.

Portability

A profile that moves with them

Calibrate profiles belong to the individual, not the employer. When someone changes role or organisation, their evidence and history comes with them. They do not start from scratch. Their professional record is theirs to keep.

Progression

A clear path to formal recognition

Calibrate is built on the same framework as IPP membership. Every competency they build maps directly to the criteria for AIPP, MIPP, or FIPP. The work they do in their day job becomes the evidence for professional membership.

The wider ecosystem

Calibrate is part of something bigger. That matters.

Calibrate is built on the IPP Competency Framework — the professional standard used for qualification and membership. That means every competency level your team builds in Calibrate maps directly to recognised professional credentials.

IPP Membership

The professional body

The Institute of Project Professionals sets the competency framework, runs qualifications, and maintains the verified public directory. IPP membership gives individuals recognised post-nominals and a verifiable professional identity.

Calibrate

Competency management for organisations

The platform your team uses to build, document, and validate their competency evidence. Sits at the centre of the ecosystem. When someone adds evidence in Calibrate, it feeds their IPP membership profile and their Activate qualification progress simultaneously.

Activate

Structured learning and qualifications

IPP's on-demand learning and assessment platform. When a team member passes an Activate qualification, their exam topic scores automatically pre-seed their Calibrate profile at the appropriate level. They do not start from scratch — the system recognises what they have already demonstrated.
