If you are creating online training, you may also be wondering how much it costs to get an online course CPD accredited. The cost of CPD accreditation for online courses is typically based on the number of courses submitted rather than the format itself. VeriCPD uses a simple fixed pricing model, making it easier to plan the cost of accrediting e-learning, webinars, and digital training programmes.

Can online courses be CPD accredited?

Yes. Online courses, webinars and digital learning programmes can all be CPD accredited if they meet recognised continuing professional development standards.

The format of delivery does not prevent accreditation. What matters is whether the learning is structured, relevant and professionally valuable.

This means that eLearning, recorded courses, live virtual sessions and blended learning can all be suitable, provided they demonstrate clear learning objectives, defined outcomes and appropriate content.

For many providers, this is an important shift. CPD is no longer limited to classroom-based training. Digital learning is now a core part of professional development across many industries.
