Website terms of use
These terms apply when you use betaqualifications.com, including the card check. By using the site you accept them.
Who runs this site
This site is run by BETA Qualifications Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales, number 17570279. Our registered office is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. You can email us at info@betaqualifications.com.
Training centres and BETA staff who use the portal are also bound by their own agreement with BETA. Operators are also bound by the terms that come with their card.
Using the card check
The card check is there so that employers, site managers and others can confirm a card they have been shown. Use it only to check a card that its holder has shown you or that you otherwise have a good reason to check.
You must not:
- check registration numbers in bulk, or guess numbers to find cards;
- copy, scrape or collect results by automated means, or build a list of operators from them;
- publish or share a result except as needed to decide whether to rely on the card;
- interfere with how the site works or try to get into parts of it that are not public.
Card results include personal information. If you use them in a way these terms do not allow, you may also be breaking data protection law. We may block access from anyone who misuses the check.
What a check tells you
A check shows what the BETA register held about that card at the moment you checked it. A card that is Active today can be suspended, revoked or expire later. If the check and the plastic card disagree, the check is correct.
A BETA card is evidence that its holder passed a BETA test. It does not show that they are fit, competent or authorised to use a machine on a given day. As an employer, that decision and the duty to train and authorise operators remain yours.
Our responsibility to you
We work to keep the site available and the register accurate, but we cannot promise that the site will always be available or free of errors. Information on the site, other than a card check result, is general guidance and not advice for your situation.
We are not liable for loss that arises from the site being unavailable, from a decision you make without checking the register, or from treating a card as more than evidence of a passed test. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of business, profit or opportunity.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

The BETA name, logo, standards and other content on this site belong to BETA Qualifications Ltd. You may print or share pages for your own use or to explain the scheme to others. You may not use the BETA name or logo to suggest that you, a course or a centre is approved by BETA unless BETA has approved it.
Links to other websites are for your information. We are not responsible for their content.
Changes and the law that applies
We may change these terms. The version on this page is the one that applies when you use the site.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute about them.
