Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help us design our programme so that it passes accreditation?
No. We assess programmes that have already been developed. We do not offer consultancy, reviews prior to submission, or advice on how to design or structure your content. If your programme does not pass on first submission, the assessment report will explain exactly what needs to be corrected, and you will have the opportunity to revise and resubmit.
Do you accredit digital learning and self paced programmes, or only classroom training?
We accredit all delivery formats, including classroom based training, live online sessions, self paced digital learning, blended learning, and any combination of these. The same assessment standards apply regardless of how the programme is delivered.
We have a large number of courses. Do you offer bulk or discounted rates?
No. Each programme is assessed individually at the standard fee of £200. We do not offer bulk discounts or portfolio pricing. Our fees are set at a level intended to be accessible to all providers, from sole traders to large organisations.
We are based outside the United Kingdom. Can we still apply?
Yes. The CPD Standards Board works with providers internationally. We have registered providers from around the world. The accreditation process is the same regardless of where your organisation is based.
How long does accreditation last?
Accreditation is valid for 12 months from the date it is awarded. If you wish to continue awarding CPD credits for the programme after this period, you will need to renew. The renewal fee is either £100 or £200 per programme depending on whether you have made minor or extensive changes to the programme.
Is there a fee to resubmit if our programme does not pass?
No. You may resubmit up to twice within 30 days of receiving your assessment report at no additional cost. If the programme has not passed after two resubmissions, the content will require more substantial revision before it can be reconsidered.
Our programme covers medical or clinical topics. Are there additional requirements?
Yes. The programme must be designed by, or under the direct supervision of, a professional who is registered with a recognised healthcare regulator, such as the GMC, GDC, NMC, HCPC, or the equivalent body in their country of practice.
Do we need to resubmit for accreditation if we update our programme content?
If you make minor updates during the accreditation period, you do not need to resubmit. However, if the content changes substantially, you should submit the revised programme as a new submission to ensure it continues to meet the required standard.
Do I need to accredit each course seperately?
Yes. Each training course, webinar, event, or podcast is accredited individually. The fee applies per item. This ensures that each piece of content is reviewed and approved on its own merit.
If I become a provider does that automatically mean my first course is accredited?
No. Your course still has to go through and pass assessment.
