Audits are not like a police/court interrogation. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" does not come into play. It is more like store security. If you can flash a receipt that has the TV on it, you will be good.
If a training venue does not issue certificates, I just send myself an email stating:

For the record, I just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IG3zqvUqJY which is suitable for 0.1 CPEs in risk management.
Then if any questions arise, I have a preexisting "something" that demonstrates I did not made it all up after the auditors came knocking. My goal being to raise it a just a notch above he-said, she-said.
Incidentally, if you find yourself struggling to remember what you watched, know that youtube does keep history (https://www.youtube.com/feed/history) that includes progress and duration.
This is an interesting idea that could lead to something... but I have to ask if you are the training requester, and the training approver, and training implementor isn't there a conflict of interest
