The CPD Passport is a free, online CPD recording tool provided by The CPD Group that allows professionals to log, track, and evidence their Continuing Professional Development activities throughout the year. It provides a centralised, secure portfolio of your CPD records — including certificates, reflective notes, and hours accumulated — that you can access and present to your professional body, employer, or clients at any time.
The CPD Passport is available to all professionals, regardless of industry or sector. You do not need to be a member of The CPD Group or to have completed an activity accredited by us to use it. It is designed to be a practical, accessible tool that makes CPD recording straightforward for every professional.
Most professional bodies that require annual CPD ask members to submit a CPD log or portfolio at renewal. The CPD Passport is structured to generate exactly the kind of evidence professional bodies require — dated entries, activity descriptions, CPD hours, certificates, and reflective notes. Having a complete, well-maintained CPD Passport makes annual submission straightforward.
Without a dedicated CPD record tool, professionals typically accumulate CPD certificates across email folders, desktop files, and physical folders — only to discover them missing when they are needed most. The CPD Passport provides a single, secure location for all your CPD records. Certificates from activities accredited by The CPD Group are automatically logged when you scan the QR code at the end of an accredited activity.
Good CPD is not just about accumulating hours — it is about learning that genuinely improves professional practice. The CPD Passport includes space for reflective notes on each activity, prompting you to record what you learned and how it will inform your professional work. This reflective element is increasingly required by professional bodies and is the difference between CPD that genuinely develops you and CPD that simply meets a compliance requirement.
A well-maintained CPD Passport is tangible evidence of your commitment to professional growth. It can be shared with employers at appraisal, presented to clients as evidence of your continuing expertise, used in applications for promotion or new roles, and submitted to professional bodies for membership renewal or audit. The CPD Passport turns years of professional development into a credible, evidenced professional record.
No login wall, no industry restriction, no fee. The CPD Passport is built so every professional — in any sector — can keep a clean, audit-ready record.
Getting started with the CPD Passport is straightforward.
Sign up at thecpd.group/cpdpassport — no payment, no industry restriction.
Including past activities you want to record retrospectively — not just new ones going forward.
Attach the certificate, attendance record, or any other document evidencing completion.
Capture what you learned, what surprised you, and how you'll apply it in your professional role.
Monitor progress against your professional body's annual requirement throughout the year.
Export when you need to present it — at renewal, in an audit, at appraisal, or to a new employer.
When you complete a CPD activity accredited by The CPD Group — a course, webinar, event, podcast, or edutorial — scanning the QR code provided automatically generates your personalised CPD certificate. You can then upload this to your CPD Passport to maintain a complete, verified record.
The CPD Passport is suitable for any professional who needs to track their CPD — whether their professional body mandates a specific number of hours, whether they are building a CPD portfolio for career progression, or whether they simply want to maintain an organised record of their professional learning. It is particularly valuable for professionals in regulated sectors including healthcare, law, financial services, engineering, and HR, where CPD records are subject to audit.
