What you will learn
- Trace a listing to its source, and tell a hand-checked row from an OpenStreetMap row.
- Confirm an alcohol-free claim from the venue's own words, and know what that evidence does not show.
- Read the Verified badge, the Featured label and a sponsored slot as paid features, not as reviews.
- Keep an evidence record for a venue decision, and send corrections through the right form.
- Find the licence for OpenStreetMap rows before you reuse the data.

Questions
Does this course qualify me to inspect venues?
No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It is not a professional qualification, a licence or an inspection credential.
Does the Verified badge mean the site inspected the venue?
No. On this site the Verified badge comes with a paid plan. Read it as a plan feature. Confirm the facts that matter to you with the venue.
Can I reuse the listing data?
Read the source list first. Rows from OpenStreetMap are under the Open Database License 1.0. This course does not tell you what the licence allows. Read the licence text, or ask your own adviser.
