Section 1 of 5

Identity and legal status

We looked for the legal entity behind the website on the home, Our Costs & Process, CPD Benefits, Our Services, About Us, Contact and Privacy Policy pages. The site names the business as "CPD Verification Service" and does not name a registered company or display a company number. Companies House name searches for "CPD Verification Service" and "CPD Verification Services" did not return a company of either name. The ICO register lists an individual as the data controller for registration ZB623063, with "CPD Verification Service" recorded as another name and the same Holybourne address as the website. We looked for connected businesses on the pages reviewed and did not identify any. Accessed 28 October 2026.

Published information

The home page states that learning services are reviewed and benchmarked "against our rigorous assessment process, with a clear focus on learning outcomes and core learning objectives", and the Our Costs & Process page refers to "our CPD Verification standard". We looked for the standard or criteria themselves and did not find them on the pages reviewed. The Our Costs & Process and Our Services pages publish prices: an annual membership fee of £200, a verification fee of £100 per activity (one-off), and certificates at £10 each or £250 per year for e-certificates. A Privacy Policy is published. We looked for terms and conditions and for a complaints procedure; neither is linked from the navigation or footer, and /terms.html and /complaints.html returned a page-not-found response. The site is served over HTTPS.

The Our Costs & Process page states that "Each development activity is applied for individually". We looked for an accreditation number for each activity and did not find one stated. We looked for a public list or lookup of verified providers or activities and did not find one. We looked for a stated review period for verified activities and did not find one; membership is described as annual. An ICO register search by reference ZB623063 returned an entry registered on 6 November 2023 and expiring on 5 November 2027; a search by the published postcode returned the same registration among two results; a search by the name "CPD Verification Service" returned no entries.
