FAQ

Common questions

What does CPD accreditation mean?

CPD accreditation confirms that a course or training activity has been independently reviewed against recognised continuing professional development standards.

Who can apply?

Training providers, coaches, consultancies, academies, online course creators, and in-house corporate learning teams can all apply for accreditation.

What do you review?

We assess learning objectives, structure, delivery quality, trainer credibility, engagement, evidence, and the amount of meaningful CPD time delivered.

How long does accreditation take?

Turnaround depends on the quality and completeness of the submission, but the process is designed to be straightforward and commercially practical.

Can I buy online instead of sending an enquiry first?

Yes. Selected accreditation packages and related products are available through our online shop, while larger or custom arrangements can still be requested through the enquiry form.
