Employers and professional bodies

Employers, professional bodies and membership organisations use accreditation as a shortcut: rather than reviewing every course their people take, they can rely on an independent assessment against a published standard.

This section sets out exactly what that assessment covers so you can decide how much weight to give it in your own framework.

Working with professional bodies

How the CPD Accreditation Standards can be mapped onto a body's own CPD scheme so members are not assessed twice against the same requirement.

Recognising accredited CPD

What an accreditation statement evidences, what it does not, and how to check one when reviewing a member or employee record.

Accredited provider register

Search accredited providers and learning activities, and confirm the accreditation period that applied on a given date.

Map the Standards onto your scheme

If you run a CPD scheme of your own, we can work through the outcomes in the Standards with you and identify where they already satisfy your requirements and where they do not.
