About CPD Standards Board
Our Commitment to Quality
We believe CPD should be credible, not complicated. Our framework is clear and practical, focused on real-world learning that makes a difference. Every submission is reviewed independently to ensure it delivers meaningful, measurable development for participants.
About Us
The CPD Standards Board exists to recognise and accredit high-quality Continuing Professional Development across industries and sectors. We work with training providers, consultants, internal L&D teams, and event organisers who are committed to delivering structured, valuable learning.
Our role is to assess and certify CPD activities that genuinely contribute to professional growth. That includes everything from short courses and masterclasses to full-day workshops, webinars, and internal development programmes. If the learning is structured, measurable, and designed to improve skills or knowledge, it can be accredited.
Who We Work With
We accredit CPD providers around the world, from independent consultants and small training companies to large organisations and international events.
Whether you’re delivering one course or managing an entire learning function, our process is designed to be fair, accessible, and supportive.
What Makes Us Different
We don’t charge to register as a CPD provider. There are no membership fees, annual renewals, or hidden costs.
You only pay when you submit a course, event, or activity for accreditation. That means you stay in control and only invest when you’re ready.
Our goal is to recognise quality, not create barriers.
