Certified CPD Accreditation

Accreditation & Quality Assurance

Certified CPD is a UK-registered training provider delivering face-to-face and online professional learning globally. Alongside our own accredited programmes, we now formally accredit external courses and organisations that meet our professional, industry, and quality standards.

What Accreditation with Certified CPD Means

Our accreditation framework exists to ensure that professional learning is credible, relevant, and aligned with real-world industry expectations.

Organisations and course providers accredited by Certified CPD demonstrate a clear commitment to quality, learner impact, and continuous professional development.

Only courses and organisations that successfully meet these criteria are approved.

Accreditation is not a rubber stamp.

It is a structured quality assurance process that confirms:

  • Course content is accurate, current, and industry-relevant.
  • Learning outcomes are clearly defined and measurable.
  • Delivery methods support effective professional learning.
  • Assessment or validation methods are appropriate to the subject area.
  • Courses meet recognised CPD standards and contribute to professional learning hours or CPD points.

What We Accredit

We accredit both courses and organisations.

  • Online courses and e-learning programmes.
  • Face-to-face training and workshops.
  • Blended learning programmes.
  • Sector-specific professional development courses.

Organisation Accreditation
