The 2026 edition of the CPD Accreditation Standards is now available, together with a summary of what has changed since the previous edition.
The 2026 edition of the CPD Accreditation Standards is now available. The Standards set out the outcomes an accredited learning activity has to demonstrate across design, delivery, assessment and governance.
Providers holding a current accreditation are assessed against the edition that was in force when their accreditation was granted, until their next renewal. New applications are assessed against the 2026 edition from the date it takes effect.
A change summary is published alongside the Standards so providers can see which outcomes have been reworded, which evidence requirements have moved, and which are new.
If you are part way through an application, your assessor will confirm in writing which edition applies to your submission.
