CPD accreditation explained
in simple words
CPD accreditation is the trust mark you add to your training to demonstrate the high value of a learning experience with you.
The accreditation is not about the validity of your professional knowledge; instead, it focuses on your ability to deliver training that enables your learners to achieve their professional goals.
Going through the certification process will help you refresh your offering, polish any rough edges, and gain a lifelong partner in the face of CPD Standards Office.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost associated with CPD Accreditation?
Yes, there is a cost for becoming CPD accredited, and it depends on the number of learning events you are looking to accredit. These learning events can be face-2-face courses, online courses, or industry-specific events. We also offer speakers and life coaches accreditation based on a body of work. The CPD Standards Office accreditation cost is, in effect, a membership fee, providing you access and the support of a large community of educators like yourself, committed to excellence and delivering world-class training.
How long does my CPD accreditation last for?
Your membership commitment with The CPD Standards Office is for a minimum of two years. Payment for the first year is at the beginning of the contract, and you will receive the invoice for the second year 60 days before the renewal date with a 15% discount, applicable every year onwards. After the first two years, your contract becomes a rolling one year contract. Your first-year membership lasts 13 months instead of 12 - we don't charge you for the time it takes to become accredited, and you can enjoy the full 12 months of accreditation.
Are payment plans available
Yes, we provide various membership subscription options, whether you are a sole trader or a multi-million-pound business. The fees will be determined during your initial conversation with one of our advisors. Once the cost is determined, you can either pay it in full (preferred by the majority of our members) or cover the payment in up to 6 months, where an additional 10% fee is applicable.
How long does the CPD accreditation process take?
Routine - It can take up to 30 days from the day of full submission to obtain your accreditation.
Swift/Fast Track - For an additional fee, you can select the fasttrack option, which will prioritise the application and offer approved status within 14 days. Full submission is still required with this option. For further information on the fast track assessment, contact your Advisor.
