Written by the company

Our mission is to support everyone involved in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to make it better, easier and more affordable. We founded the CPD Standards Office as a result of a comprehensive research project into the quality of continuing CPD provision across the country. Our in-depth research surveyed over 1000 professionals and interviewed a range of professional bodies and regulators. We found that the standards of CPD varied greatly and that too much of the training provided was of remarkably low quality. By providing independent accreditation, our mission is to improve the quality of continuing professional development (CPD) to ensure positive and successful CPD experiences. We also want to make it more affordable and easier to access. We help CPD providers ensure that they deliver consistently high-quality training that is inclusive and collaborative. Our marks of excellence for training and learning providers demonstrate to individual professionals that the learning activity conforms to CPD best practice and is appropriate for inclusion in a formal CPD record. We pioneer new ways of working into the CPD field and have recently introduced a digital certificate service for our providers using Blockchain technology. The CPD Standards Office forms part of the Professional Development Consortium. The Consortium works to build bridges between stakeholders to increase the benefits of CPD to individuals and employers. In particular, we encourage the spread of best practice and the sharing of support.

Quality CPD Accreditation

This was a person led experience that was very much bespoke in service but consistent in approach. Extremely happy with both quality of service, quality of product and the engaging and knowledgeable approach of the organisation. Would strongly recommend engaging if you require CPD accreditation or training advice.

It has taken us quite a while to work things out, as a not for profit organisation, mainly out community. The CPD Standard Office have been really good helping us the calls emails and would have had face to face. I can't speak highly. So as a new member we'll see how it goes. Down to us now to get out courses out.

The CPD Standards Office Andrew has been exceptional throughout…

Andrew has been exceptional throughout this entire process. His communication was always clear, timely, and informative, and he consistently ensured I understood every stage of the CPD Standards journey.
What stood out most was his willingness to answer questions thoroughly and his genuine commitment to supporting candidates. A process that can often feel overwhelming became positive and reassuring because of his approachable manner, patience, and deep expertise.
Every interaction with Andrew was professional, respectful, and constructive. His attention to detail, commitment to excellence, and dedication to maintaining high standards reflect incredibly well on both himself and CPD Standards.
It has truly been a pleasure working with him, and I am sincerely grateful for the guidance and support he provided throughout this journey.

Positive first impressions

I had a positive experience during my discovery call with Andrew. He provided a detailed introduction to the organization, explained how they are positioned within a competitive market, and outlined the assessment process in a way that made expectations transparent.

The presenter was easy to understand without overwhelming details. If was great to find someone who is willing to work with us, support us in developing our offerings.

Friendly excellence

This company provides my professional accreditation as a personal and professional coach. I always find that interactions are positive and today was no exception - a phonecall to discuss business receives an immediate response, today from Nicci, who was as ever friendly, eficient and helpful. If you are looking for high quality accreditation for your coaching or teaching I'd highly recommend the CPD Standards Office
