Avoid Misuse: The Do’s and Don’ts of The CPD Group Logo

Congratulations on becoming an Approved Provider with The CPD Group!

We appreciate your dedication to delivering high-quality learning experiences. As a valued provider, it’s important to ensure clarity and accuracy in how our brand and accreditation are represented- particularly when using The CPD Group logo.

Logo Usage: What You Need to Know

The CPD Group logo is a trusted mark of accreditation, and its use is strictly limited to approved contexts. Most importantly:

❌ You may not use our logo on course certificates or in course listings unless that course has been officially accredited by us.

Using the logo in these cases without proper accreditation is considered false advertising, and could mislead learners into thinking a course is CPD approved when it is not.

Provider vs. Accredited Course

It’s important to note that being listed as a CPD provider is not the same as having a course accredited. If you would like to show that a specific course is CPD certified and verified by us, it must go through our Course Check process.

This process ensures the course content meets the CPD Group’s accredited framework before it can be promoted as CPD Accredited and carry our certification logo.

This is the Logo you would use to show you are an approved provider and are CPD Ready-To-Go.

And this is the logo to be used if you go through the accreditation process and a plan is purchased.

What’s Allowed vs. Not Allowed

How to Get a Course Accredited

To begin the Course Check process, get in touch with one of our Accreditation Advisors. They’ll guide you through the options and help you choose the best plan based on your course offering.
