Verification
The CPD Group provides a free verification tool that allows anyone — learners, employers, professional bodies, or members of the public — to independently confirm whether a CPD activity is genuinely accredited by The CPD Group. This verification system is a fundamental part of what makes The CPD Group's accreditation credible and trustworthy.
To verify an activity, enter the unique accreditation number shown on the CPD Group logo or CPD certificate into the verification tool at thecpdregister.com. The tool will confirm whether the activity is genuinely accredited, the name of the provider, the activity title, and the accreditation expiry date.
It appears on every CPD Group accreditation logo and on every CPD certificate issued to delegates.
Paste the number into the verification tool at thecpdregister.com — no login needed.
Provider name, activity title, current accreditation status, and expiry date returned instantly.
CPD accreditation is not regulated by government in the same way that formal qualifications are. This means that not all CPD accreditation logos carry the same weight — and some organisations have been known to misrepresent their accreditation status. The CPD Group's verification system is the definitive check for any activity claiming to be accredited by us.
For learners submitting CPD evidence to a professional body or employer, the ability to verify accreditation provides important reassurance. For employers reviewing CPD records from staff, it confirms that the learning claimed was genuinely quality-assessed. For professional bodies auditing member CPD, it provides the independent verification needed to accept the activity.
Entering a valid CPD Group accreditation number into the verification tool confirms:
The activity is genuinely accredited by The CPD Group
The name of the accredited provider
The title of the specific accredited activity
The current accreditation status (active or expired)
The accreditation expiry date
Each accredited activity receives a unique accreditation number. This number appears on The CPD Group logo for that activity and on every CPD certificate issued to delegates who complete it. No two accredited activities share the same number.
Free, no login required. Type the number, hit verify, read the result. The same tool used by learners, employers, and professional bodies worldwide.
If you enter an accreditation number and it does not return a verified result, this indicates that either:
The number has been entered incorrectly
The accreditation has expired and not been renewed
The activity is not genuinely accredited by The CPD Group
If you believe a provider is fraudulently using The CPD Group's accreditation mark, you can report it at thecpd.group/report-cpd. The CPD Group investigates all reports and takes appropriate action.
The CPD Group's verification system is separate from The CPD Register, which is an independent certification body for CPD accreditation organisations. The CPD Group is the first and only accreditation body to be certified by The CPD Register — meaning our accreditation processes themselves have been independently verified.
Layer 1
Our verification tool confirms every accredited activity carries a unique, lookup-able number returning provider, title, status, and expiry.
Layer 2
The CPD Register independently certifies our processes — we're the first and only UK accreditation body certified. Read more.
This dual layer of verification — activity-level verification through our verification tool, and organisation-level verification through The CPD Register — provides the strongest possible assurance of accreditation quality.
Free, independent, instant. The same verification tool used by learners checking certificates, employers reviewing records, and professional bodies auditing member CPD.
