03Frequently asked
Quick answers.
Is Dex for Business the same as our individual certifications?
They share one proof foundation. Individual certification proves a person's capability; company certification examines whether that capability is distributed, placed, converted, developed, and governed across the organization. The company signal is more than a count of certified employees.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing is scoped to the certification — it depends on the boundary, participation, and evidence involved. It is shared during a certification review rather than published, because a single list price would misrepresent very different scopes.
Do you train our people?
Development supports the standard, but Ask for Dex is not a training platform. The centre of the model is proof and certification; study and development resources help people grow toward the standard rather than replace the assessment.
Will procurement or regulators recognise this?
A certification provides a scoped, checkable capability signal you can show in proposals and reviews. Ask for Dex does not claim recognition in any procurement system or regulatory regime where that recognition has not been independently established.
How do you protect employee data?
Leadership and conversion feedback uses minimum group sizes, anonymity rules, and safe-reporting standards. Employers receive findings and patterns, not raw individual responses. See Privacy and Data Use for the full detail.
