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.

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.

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.

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.
