The CPD Standards Office
To achieve accreditation by The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Standards Office, the Academy underwent a rigorous assessment process that focuses on the development and delivery of training including the Academy’s educational authority, how delegate feedback is collected and utilised, and ensuring content is kept up to date.
The CPD Standards accreditation operates internationally and meets the CPD requirements and expectations for all professional bodies, regulators and membership organisations across the globe. This means that a professional attending an accredited CPD training activity can receive a CPD Certificate of Attendance, which can then be used towards their national CPD requirements.
Due to the research undertaken by the CPD Standards Research Project with various professional bodies and regulators the accreditation is recognised and respected internationally. Formal CPD Standards certificates are issued and accepted in a multitude of countries and across all professional sectors.
