Step 3: Independent Review

Your application is reviewed against our CPD standards to assess educational quality, clarity, relevance, and professional value.

Step 4: CPD Recognition

Once approved, your activity is assigned CPD hours or points and may be described as CPD-recognized in your materials, in line with our usage guidelines.

Step 5: Maintain Recognition

CPD recognition is subject to periodic review to ensure continued alignment with standards and best practices.

CPD requirements vary by profession, country, employer, and regulatory body. In some sectors, CPD is mandatory, while in others it is voluntary but strongly encouraged. Professionals should always check with their relevant regulator, professional body, or employer.

CPD itself is not universally regulated. Some professions are governed by statutory regulators, while others operate under professional or voluntary frameworks. CPD recognition does not replace licensing, accreditation, or regulatory approval.

CPD recognition is open to:

• Training providers and educators

• Organizations offering internal training

• Coaches, consultants, and practitioners delivering structured learning

• Institutions offering professional development programs

Yes. Online, hybrid, and in-person learning formats can all be eligible for CPD recognition, provided they meet CPD standards for structure, relevance, and learning outcomes.

CPD is widely valued by employers, organizations, and professional communities across many industries. Acceptance depends on the policies of employers, regulators, and professional bodies.

CPD accreditation is a quality standard that validates the content, delivery, and learning outcomes of a training or professional education programme.
