The CPD Certification Service
(CPD)Qualifications and Training Course Selector.

Established in 1996, The CPD Certification Service is the independent CPD accreditation centre working across all sectors, disciplines and further learning applications. Our unique experience and history working with training providers, professional bodies, academic institutions and corporate organisations enables us to support organisations seeking authoritative accreditation for their CPD activities.

Most institutional bodies will publish a CPD requirements plan for their members. Generally, however, they will not be prescriptive as to the topics required as the onus for personal further learning is left very much in the hands of the individual. Employers, on the other hand, will often take a more defined approach to the benefits of skills enhancement within their particular business. Neither group will tend to evaluate or dictate the quality of proposed CPD material. As a result, it is relatively easy for an organisation or individual to present commercial messages as substantiated CPD. The CPD Certification Service provides a solution to this challenge through a rigorous and impartial assessment process which has been established from the outset. The CPD Services recognised and authoritative CPD Member and CPD Certified symbols offer institutional associations, educational providers and consumers alike reassurance that the material concerned achieves the qualitative standards required by all parties.
