ABOUT CPD ACCREDITATION

Independent CPD accreditation designed for trust, evidence and public assurance.

We provide a structured accreditation framework for professional learning providers, combining organisation-level quality review, activity-level assessment and public verification.

QUALITY ASSURANCEProfessional learning deserves structured scrutiny.
01

Independent structure

Provider and activity decisions are separated into defined review stages with recorded evidence and decisions.

02

Evidence-led review

Learning outcomes, programme structure, trainer competence, assessment and supporting references form the review record.

03

Visible assurance

Approved records can be searched publicly using provider and accreditation identifiers rather than relying on a badge alone.

Why CPDREG exists

Accreditation should explain why learning is credible.

We treat accreditation as a documented quality process rather than a marketing label. The organisation, the activity and its effective validity are each visible parts of the record.

Our accreditation philosophy

Continuing Professional Development should have a clear educational purpose, be relevant to the professionals it serves and be supported by evidence that can be reviewed consistently. Our accreditation model is designed to help providers demonstrate those qualities through a transparent digital process.

We separate provider approval from activity accreditation. Provider approval considers the organisation and its quality systems. Activity accreditation considers the structure, content, faculty, learning outcomes, assessment approach and supporting evidence for a specific professional learning activity.

Independent review with a practical workflow

Providers manage their organisation profile, trainers, qualification evidence, programmes, submissions, payments and accreditation records through one portal. Reviewers work against defined criteria and can request revisions where additional evidence or clarification is required.

Public assurance

When an activity is approved it can receive a unique accreditation number and QR-linked verification record. Public status is evaluated against the effective accreditation window so expired records remain historically traceable without being represented as currently active.

Our accreditation model

Three layers of assurance.

Each layer answers a different question: is the organisation suitable, is the activity educationally robust, and is the resulting accreditation still valid and traceable?

What quality looks like

Learning design and evidence need to align.

A strong CPD activity is coherent from its stated audience and learning outcomes through to faculty selection, delivery format, assessment and participant feedback.
