The CPD Group is the first and currently only CPD accreditation organisation in the UK to be certified by The CPD Register. The CPD Register operates a voluntary certification scheme for CPD accreditation organisations against published standards covering quality, transparency, and rigour. Certification confirms that The CPD Group's accreditation processes have been assessed against those published standards.
For training providers, it means that when you choose The CPD Group your accreditation has been assessed against The CPD Register's published certification standards. For learners and delegates, it means your CPD accreditation can be checked and verified on The CPD Register.
The CPD Register operates a voluntary certification scheme for CPD accreditation organisations against published standards. It assesses CPD accreditation organisations against criteria covering the rigour of their assessment processes, the transparency of their standards and criteria, the consistency and fairness of their decision-making, the objectivity and expertise of their assessment teams, and the robustness of their verification and reporting systems. Organisations that meet these standards are listed as Certified CPD Accreditation Organisations on The CPD Register.
The CPD Group and The CPD Register are separate companies. The CPD Group is certified by The CPD Register, and lists its accredited providers, activities and trainers on The CPD Register so that learners can check and verify them.

CPD is not regulated by government in the way that formal qualifications are. Certification of an accreditation body against published standards therefore gives providers and learners a clear point of reference: it confirms that the body's accreditation processes have been assessed against published criteria for quality, transparency, and rigour.
Become a CPD Provider with The CPD Group, certified by The CPD Register. Provider registration is free; pay only when you submit activities for accreditation.
When you register as a CPD Provider with The CPD Group and have your activities accredited by us, your accreditation has been assessed by a body that is itself certified by The CPD Register against published standards. When clients ask whether your CPD accreditation is credible, you can point to the certification and to your listing on The CPD Register, which anyone can check.
Provider advantages
When you complete a learning activity accredited by The CPD Group, your certificate has been issued by an organisation certified by The CPD Register. The accreditation number on your certificate can be checked on The CPD Register, and confirms the provider's name, the activity, and the accreditation status.
