Curriculum
Eleven modules across three tracks. Read them in order or jump to what you need. The exam draws on both tracks, so work through all of it before you sit it.
Platform mechanics
The partner program in one picture
What the CVD Portal partner program is, who it is for, and how a consultancy layers CRA services on top of the platform.
Provisioning clients and bulk intake
Create client tenants, invite their founders, and turn a pile of mixed documents into pre-filled assessments with the bulk intake pipeline.
The review queue and consultant seats
Work across every client from one ranked queue, drill into any client workspace, and use consultant seats to do the work as yourself.
Billing, co-branding, and the signup funnel
Choose who pays per client, apply your wholesale discount, put your brand on client surfaces, and recruit clients through your own signup link.
CRA regulation
The CRA landscape and the deadlines that drive it
The regulation, the two hard deadlines, the penalty exposure, and who is in scope. This is the urgency you sell with.
Scope and exclusions under Article 2
What a product with digital elements is, which sectors the CRA leaves to other regimes, and how open source and dual-use products are treated.
Classifying a product across the three tiers
How Annex III important products and Annex IV critical products differ from the default tier, and why classification follows function.
Manufacturer obligations and Annex I
The two parts of Annex I, the statutory clocks Article 13 adds, and the evidence a manufacturer has to produce.
Conformity, Article 14 reporting, and penalties
The conformity assessment routes by tier, the three Article 14 reporting clocks, and the graduated penalty ladder.
Sales enablement
Positioning and pricing your offer
How to position CVD Portal against the alternatives and how to package the platform with your consulting into a priced engagement.
Objections and who to target first
The ideal customers to approach before the September 2026 deadline and clean responses to the objections you will hear most.
