CPD Accreditation Service Provider Criterion

The following criterion has been created by The CPD Register following in-depth research into how CPD Accreditation Service Providers advertise and present their services. We have concluded that the criteria set in this overview are the basis of what we believe constitutes as a 'reputable' and a 'modern' CPD Accreditation Service Provider.

It does not mean that any of the CPD Accreditation Service Providers listed are providing a sub-standard or poor service if they do not meet this set of criteria, as this is for the CPD Consumer to decide, but it does outline what we would expect a reputable and genuine CPD Accreditation Service Provider to have in place or offer to ensure that they are providing a high quality Accreditation Service.

No. of Providers

This is the number of CPD providers which the CPD Accreditation Service Organisation have accredited and which are published by the CPD Accreditation Service Organisation on their website. We check this every month to ensure our figures are accurate. The higher the number of providers is a good indication that the company provides a robust accreditation service and demonstrates it has a good overall reputation and market share.

Sector

We would expect a reputable CPD Accreditation Service Organisation to cover all sectors and have expertise and knowledge of all things CPD not just within one specific sector.

Companies House

We recommend that when a CPD Training Provider is choosing a CPD Accreditation Service Organisation, it is registered with Companies House. This provides peace of mind that the company is a genuine company with appointed and responsible Directors, whom are required, by law, to act responsibly and file annual accounts on behalf of the company which you are able to review and check the financial stability of the company. If they are not registered on Companies House, this may indicate that the person(s) behind the CPD Accreditation Service Organisation do not wish to be named, have a poor business record, there is a conflict of interest which may bring the credibility of the CPD Accreditation Service Organisation into question or the company is not financially stable.

ICO Registered

As a CPD Accreditation Service Organisation is responsible for collecting data, it is imperative and a legal requirement that they register with the ICO. Any Accreditation Service NOT registered with the ICO is to be avoided or questioned as to why not.

Physical Office / Published Address

A CPD Accreditation Service Organisation should have a published address which is not a PO Box. This will enable the CPD Provider and the CPD Consumer to have confidence that they are dealing with a genuine, reputable and established company.

Website

An Accreditation Service Provider should have a professional, comprehensive and modern website so that both CPD Training Providers and CPD Consumers can access information about their services which should be clear and transparent.

Telephone Number

Prospective CPD Training Providers who are seeking a CPD Accreditation Service should be able to speak to someone at the CPD Accreditation Service Organisation and discuss any requirements or queries.

Email

A CPD Accreditation Service Organisation should have a published email address that the CPD Training Provider and CPD Consumer can use to make contact.

Live Chat

This is not essential, but is an additional method of contact available to prospective CPD Training Providers and CPD Consumers.

Price Publishing

CPD Training Providers should be able to clearly see the costs involved to gain accreditation before they engage and commit to any services. Published pricing is a way for an Accreditation Service Organisation to demonstrate their transparency and integrity.

Terms and Conditions

All CPD Accreditation Service Organisations should have clear Terms & Conditions which are accessible and visible to prospective CPD Training Providers.

Accreditation Criteria Published

To create trust and credibility, a CPD Accreditation Service Organisation should publish their criteria and accreditation framework to which they assess CPD courses and CPD activities to.

Review Frequency

CPD Accreditation Service Organisations should carry out a review or renewal process which ensures that the CPD Training Provider is continuing to meet the accreditation standards and that the CPD courses and activities are remaining current and relevant.

Activities Individually Reviewed

As part of the accreditation process, we would expect each CPD Training Course or CPD Activity to be assessed and reviewed individually against a clear set of criteria or standards.

Individual Activities Verifiable

We would also expect a reputable CPD Accreditation Service Organisation to publish individual CPD courses and CPD activities which have been accredited on their website so that CPD Consumers can verify the specific activity has been accredited.
