Why Training Providers Should Prioritise CPD Accreditation in 2026

Happy New Year! 🥳

As we step into 2026, there's no better time for training providers to set themselves up for success by getting their CPD activities and courses accredited and organised. Starting the year with your accreditation in place means a smoother, more strategic year ahead.

It gives your learning activities clear credibility, increases your organisation's visibility, and provides learners with the confidence that the CPD credits they complete with you can be recorded and logged via CPD Passport.

Planning Ahead for Success

Whether you're developing new courses, launching webinars, creating edutorials or podcasts, renewing existing accreditation, or working through your provider approval, early action eliminates unnecessary stress later on. Our team is dedicated to making the accreditation process simple and straightforward, so you can focus on what you do best: delivering quality learning experiences.
