The CPD Group and Learning Curve Group: From learning design to recognition

Building excellent learning and getting it recognised are two different challenges, and many training providers need support with both.

That's why The CPD Group is working with Learning Curve Group's Curriculum Design Services to support training providers and organisations across the learning and skills sector.

The partnership brings together two complementary areas of expertise: Learning Curve Group's experience in curriculum design and digital learning, and The CPD Group's expertise in CPD accreditation.

Supporting providers from learning design to accreditation

Through its Curriculum Design Services, Learning Curve Group works with organisations across education, skills and training to design, develop and enhance learning. The team supports curriculum development, instructional design, eLearning development, accessibility, quality assurance and a range of digital learning solutions, helping organisations turn their knowledge and expertise into engaging, accessible and effective learning.

For providers who then want their learning formally accredited, The CPD Group offers a route to recognised CPD accreditation. Where appropriate, Learning Curve Group can signpost providers to us when they are ready, and where a provider needs help developing their learning, we can point them towards Learning Curve Group's Curriculum Design Services (https://www.learningcurvegroup.co.uk/employers/curriculum-design/).

A specialist team behind the learning

Learning Curve Group is one of the UK's leading independent training providers, and its curriculum design team brings that experience to organisations that want to create high-quality learning of their own.

The CPD Group is a UK CPD accreditation body. We don't create or deliver training ourselves, which is why the two organisations fit together so well. Every activity we accredit is assessed on its own merit, so working with Learning Curve Group does not guarantee accreditation.

Bringing complementary expertise together

An organisation may have strong subject expertise but need support turning it into an effective digital learning experience. Another may already have a completed course and want to explore accreditation. Between us, there is support at each of those stages.

Supporting the learning and skills sector

We're pleased to be working alongside Learning Curve Group and exploring further ways to support training providers through shared content, events and initiatives.

You can already watch our podcasts on the CPD-TV YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@CPD-TV/videos), and later this month our COO, Andy Donnachie, will head up to Durham on 22nd October to record a sequel podcast with Learning Curve Group. We'll also be shining a light on Learning Curve Group's new initiatives, including the Curriculum Clinic, so keep your eyes peeled for when that comes out.

Looking for CPD Accreditation?

We accredit a wide range of CPD activities, so take a look at the different types of accreditation we offer to find what suits you best:

• CPD Courses
• CPD Webinars
• CPD Edutorials
• CPD Audio Podcasts
• CPD Video Podcasts
• CPD Accredited Events
• CPD Trainers
• CPD Employers

The CPD Group's published A.C.C.R.E.D.I.T.E.D Framework provides transparency around the standards we apply to learning activities, with every activity independently assessed on its own merit against the relevant accreditation requirements. As a value-added service, we submit all accredited activities to The CPD Register on behalf of the provider, providing a transparent and independent way to verify accreditation status.

How to become an accredited CPD Provider

We hope this article was helpful. The CPD Group is the first CPD accreditation organisation to be certified by The CPD Register, working with over 13,000 approved providers across 170+ countries and 100+ industries. Every course, webinar, event or podcast we accredit is assessed on its own merit, never as part of a blanket approval.

If you're delivering training, running events, hosting a podcast, or creating any learning content that offers genuine professional development value, we'd love to help you get it accredited. Visit our Become a CPD Provider page or contact our team for a friendly chat about what we can do for you. If you're a learner looking to track, store and verify your own CPD, create your free CPD Passport - it connects directly to The CPD Register for instant verification of your accredited learning.
