— About us
Accreditation, modernised
CPD Verification Centre was created with a clear mission: to modernise and streamline CPD accreditation for today's course creators. After more than a decade writing and delivering professional training, our founder saw accreditation become increasingly expensive and slow — with traditional providers often taking six to eight weeks to approve a new course.
For training providers, those delays mean postponed launches and unnecessary gaps in revenue. CPD Verification Centre offers a faster, more affordable alternative, delivering accreditation in as little as two to three weeks so businesses, educators, consultants, professional bodies, independent trainers and in-house L&D teams can start selling their training sooner.
Built by trainers
Created by people who write and deliver courses — we understand your world.
Faster & fairer
Short turnaround and manageable costs, without cutting quality.
For everyone
Online, classroom, workshops, seminars or specialist CPD — all welcome.
— The basics
What is CPD?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is how training providers show their training is credible, current and professionally recognised. For course creators, accreditation isn't just a badge — it's a tool that attracts learners, builds trust and demonstrates quality.
When your activities are CPD accredited, learners earn CPD points that strengthen their professional record and CV. For you, it means more credibility, more enrolments, and reassurance that your content meets recognised standards.
Credibility
Show learners your training meets recognised standards.
More enrolments
Accredited courses stand out and sell more easily.
CPD points
Learners earn points that support career progression.
Trust
Reassure employers and industry bodies your content is quality.
— What we accredit
Accreditation for every kind of training
Most providers already deliver CPD-worthy content. Accreditation simply makes your existing training more trusted, more valuable and easier to sell. Whatever format you use, we can accredit it quickly and professionally.
Online Courses & eLearning
Flexible, self-paced learning that fits around busy schedules. Accreditation helps your online content stand out and supports ongoing, passive sales.
Courses & Programmes
We accredit structured learning in any length or format — from short introductory sessions to full multi-module programmes. Whether your training is delivered online, in person, self-paced or instructor-led, accreditation confirms it meets recognised CPD standards. This gives your learners confidence, adds professional credibility, and allows them to collect CPD points that strengthen their CV and career progression.
Accrediting any of these formats instantly increases trust, credibility and learner confidence — making your training easier to promote, easier to sell, and more attractive to employers and professionals.

— FAQ
Questions, answered
What exactly do you accredit?
Training courses — online and eLearning, classroom training, workshops, seminars and structured programmes. We deliberately keep it simple and focus on courses, rather than webinars, podcasts or one-off events.
How long does accreditation take?
Most courses are reviewed and accredited within 1–3 weeks, depending on the size of the course — not the 6–8 weeks that's common elsewhere. You send your content, we review it, and you're ready to launch.
How much does it cost?
Our pricing is transparent and shown right on this page — plans start from £495. There are no hidden fees; use the calculator above to see the exact price for the number of courses and term you need.
Do I need to be a qualified subject-matter expert?
No. You need to understand your topic well enough to teach it accurately and responsibly — and that can come from hands-on research and experience, not only formal qualifications.
What format do my materials need to be in?
Whatever you already use — PDFs, slides, videos, manuals or lesson plans. There are no complicated templates and no rewriting. Send it in your existing format and we'll take it from there.
How are CPD credits calculated?
One hour of learning equals one CPD Credit, based on the average time a learner spends completing the course, including any home study or practical tasks. You tell us the length and we handle the rest.
Is the accreditation recognised, and how do learners verify it?
Once approved, your organisation and each accredited course are listed on our public CPD Register, and every certificate you issue carries a unique verification number (and QR code) that anyone can check.
What do I get as an approved provider?
Official CPD provider status, your own CPD provider logo, a verified provider number, a provider certificate, a listing on the register, and the ability to issue verifiable CPD certificates to your learners.
