Published information
The Our Accreditation Process page lists eight core criteria, each with a guiding question: learning objectives, content structure, delivery quality, trainer or facilitator credentials, CPD hour calculation, assessment or evaluation, learner materials and feedback mechanisms. The eLearning product page sets out seven core criteria for eLearning courses, and clause 4.2 of the Terms of Business lists matters the review may consider. The Pricing page publishes prices from £349 plus VAT for eLearning courses up to one hour, £399 up to two hours and £449 up to three hours, from £349 for single webinars and for classroom courses up to one day, with multi-session and multi-day courses priced on enquiry. Terms of Business for eLearning course accreditation are published, covering contract formation, accreditation services, use of marks, fees, suspension, withdrawal and termination. A Privacy Policy is published, last updated 27 November 2025. The Our Accreditation Process page describes an appeals process in which a decision can be reviewed by a second assessor. We looked for a complaints procedure for the accreditation service and did not find one; the Privacy Policy's complaints paragraph concerns data protection. The site is served over HTTPS.
The Our Accreditation Process page states "We accredit courses, not companies" and that "Each programme is assessed individually on its own merits". Clause 4.6 of the Terms of Business states that each accredited course receives "a unique accreditation number". The home and product pages refer to "a verifiable listing in our public course directory"; we did not find a directory linked from the navigation or footer, and the paths /directory/, /course-directory/, /accredited-courses/ and /verify/ returned a not-found page. The Our Accreditation Process page states that accreditation is granted "for a fixed term of 12 months" and is "not automatically renewed"; the Terms of Business and product pages refer to terms of 12, 24 or 36 months. The Privacy Policy states registration with the Isle of Man Information Commissioner, number R697807. A UK ICO register search by the names "Trusted CPD" and "Governance People" returned no entries.

Advertising and claims
The About page states that the business provides CPD accreditation "that’s trusted by learners, employers, and regulators" and carries the heading "Leading the industry in eLearning CPD Accreditation" twice; a heading on the same page reads "Statistic or Benefit". It also states "Most applications are reviewed and approved within days". The home page describes the review process as "rigorous" for eLearning, "stringent" for webinars and "robust" for classroom training, and is headed "Independent ACCREDITATION". The product pages state that accreditation "does not constitute regulatory approval". Accessed 28 October 2026.
