Why CPD verification matters

CPD verification provides confidence that training has been independently assessed rather than self-declared.

• Confirm that a course is CPD accredited
• Check training provider credibility
• Support employer and organisational requirements
• Ensure learning meets recognised standards

What CPD verification checks

Verification confirms that a course or learning activity has been reviewed against CPD criteria, including structure, relevance and professional value.

This helps distinguish accredited training from unverified or informal learning.

Who uses CPD verification?

• Learners checking course credibility
• Employers reviewing staff training
• Organisations validating professional development
• Training buyers comparing providers

CPD verification and certification

Verification is closely linked to CPD certification. It helps confirm that certificates issued by training providers are supported by recognised accreditation.

Learn more about CPD certification and how it supports professional learning.

Can all CPD training be verified?

Only training that has been assessed and approved through a recognised CPD accreditation process can be verified.

If a course cannot be verified, it may not have been independently reviewed.

CPD verification for training providers

Training providers can use independent verification to help learners and organisations confirm the accreditation status of approved courses.

Verification supports transparency and provides a clear way to check whether a course has been independently reviewed.
