Recommendation standard
HABOS Recommended is the result of a check, not something you can buy. This page states what we verify and how you can challenge it.
Identity and contact
The owner or teacher is verified, and the contact channels listed are tested and working.
Rights to the work
Images must belong to that person or be licensed to them. Other people’s work is never shown.
Evidence for credentials
Awards, certificates and roles carry an issuing body and a year that can be checked.
Usable service details
Service types, area, languages and booking method are current.
A written reason
HABOS writes a specific reason for each recommendation and shows the last review date on the page.
Review and withdrawal
A serious complaint or stale information suspends the recommendation while it is corrected.
We only use the wording HABOS Recommended. We do not say certified, because there is no examination and no verifiable certificate number behind it.
If anything on a page is wrong, or you want to challenge a review, contact us. You get a reply with the reason and what would need to change.
