Published information

The FAQ page states that the organisation reviews courses across course structure and content, learning outcomes, health and safety and professional standards, assessment methods, and trainer credibility. We looked for the underlying published criteria or rubric against which these areas are assessed and did not find one on the pages reviewed. This is a description of the areas covered rather than the criteria themselves.

Pricing is published on the home page and the Get Accredited page, broken down by single course, three-course bundle, and academy packages, together with online/hybrid approval fees, fast-track fees, and separate annual maintenance fees.

Terms and conditions are published, covering the organisation's role, obligations, the accreditation process, fees and renewals, intellectual property, limitation of liability, and termination.

We looked for a privacy policy and a complaints policy on the home, about, terms and conditions, get accredited, verification, FAQ, industry partners, educator certification and "how to accredit" pages, and did not find either on the pages reviewed.

The site is served over HTTPS.

The FAQ states that courses are reviewed individually across the areas listed above, and the accreditation packages are structured by number of courses (single course, three-course bundle, up to ten courses), consistent with individual course review being stated.

The Verification page states that every accredited academy is issued an accreditation number, and provides a search facility together with a worked example (Lash Bar Training Academy, Accreditation Number ACC-2001) showing the number, approved courses and status.

The FAQ states that accreditation is valid for 12 months and requires annual renewal.

We looked for the organisation's ICO registration. The ICO register of fee payers is form-based and cannot be queried directly in this session; this field is left unset and flagged for manual verification.

Advertising and claims

The "How to Accredit a Beauty Course" page states: "our published accreditation standards". We looked for a page setting out the accreditation criteria in full and did not find one on the pages reviewed.

The same page also states: "CPD Accreditation Co provides industry-leading accreditation for beauty and aesthetics training across the UK."
