About CPD certification
Keep professional knowledge moving forward
Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, describes the learning professionals undertake to maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and capabilities throughout their working lives.
The CPD Certification Service is an independent accreditation organisation established in 1996. It reviews training courses, events and other learning activities against structured CPD standards, helping learners identify professional development that has been independently assessed.
Choose with clarity
CPD certification and regulated qualifications are different
Both can support development, but they serve different purposes. Check each course description for its exact learning outcome and certification.
Complete a formal qualification programme
A qualification regulated within an official framework, with defined assessment and awarding requirements. A course is only regulated where this is explicitly stated.
