CPD For Providers
Accredit Your Training with Confidence and Credibility
In a regulated, standards-driven professional landscape, CPD accreditation is no longer optional, it’s essential. If you deliver online courses, in-person workshops, or corporate training, becoming a CPD accredited provider demonstrates quality assurance, regulatory alignment, and a commitment to structured learning.
Formal accreditation by CPD Global Standards helps you build trust, meet industry expectations, and attract learners seeking recognised, outcomes-based development.
What is CPD?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the structured, evidence based learning professionals undertake to maintain competence, support regulatory compliance, and meet evolving industry standards.
For training providers, CPD presents a formal framework for delivering recognised learning that satisfies the requirements of employers, membership bodies, and statutory regulators.
When CPD accreditation is granted, learning activities are formally validated against defined quality benchmarks enhancing credibility, enabling procurement eligibility, and contributing to verifiable learner outcomes across regulated sectors.
How the CPD Accreditation Process Works for Training Providers
The CPD accreditation process validates the quality, structure, and compliance of your training. From application to certification, each step ensures your courses meet recognised professional standards, enabling you to issue CPD-certified certificates and access full support via the MyPro CPD Portal.
Submit Your CPD Accreditation Application
Start the process by submitting a structured application outlining your organisation, course formats, trainer credentials, and intended CPD activities. This step ensures your training provision is eligible for formal recognition under CPD Global Standards.
Formal Quality Assurance Review
Your application is reviewed by our accreditation team to verify alignment with CPD learning outcomes, regulatory expectations, and instructional quality. We assess your course content, learning objectives, assessment strategy, and evidence of professional relevance.
Receive Your CPD Accreditation Status
Once your training meets all accreditation requirements, you’ll receive official CPD status. You’ll gain access to our certification tools, branding assets, and legal permission to issue CPD-certified certificates to learners.

Launch your accredited learning activities. Whether online, in-person, or blended, your CPD delivery must remain consistent with the approved format. Use the MyPro Portal to issue certificates and maintain participant logs for audit-readiness.

Types of CPD Activities Eligible for Accreditation
CPD Global Standards accredits a wide range of structured learning formats that contribute to professional development, compliance, and skills advancement. Activities must be purposeful, outcomes-based, and relevant to the learner’s professional role or regulatory obligations.
CPD training courses are formally structured programmes delivered in person or online. These typically focus on specific topics, skills, or compliance areas, with clear learning outcomes and assessments. Accreditation verifies the quality, format, and relevance of content under CPD Global Standards.
Online CPD courses offer flexible, on-demand learning professionals can complete remotely. Content may include videos, quizzes, downloadable resources, and assessments. Courses must be structured, outcomes-based, and platform-compliant to qualify for CPD accreditation.
Workshops provide hands-on, skills-focused CPD through facilitated, interactive sessions. To be accredited, workshops must include defined learning objectives, professional relevance, and mechanisms for learner participation and feedback.
CPD seminars are short, topic specific sessions typically delivered to groups. Accreditation requires structured delivery, subject expertise, and evidence of educational value and relevance to professional development or compliance.
Â
Webinars provide live or recorded CPD opportunities through virtual delivery. Sessions must be structured, professionally presented, and include proof of attendance or participation to meet CPD accreditation requirements.
Larger CPD events, such as conferences or summits, may include accreditable components such as workshops, panel sessions, or keynote presentations. Each session must undergo independent review and demonstrate measurable learning aligned with CPD Global Standards criteria.
