iCPD International CPD Activities - The CPD Register Review

Commercial Identification and Contactability

The legal entity behind this organisation has not been identified and is not disclosed on the website.

The organisation trades as iCPD International CPD Activities. No registered company name, company registration number, or registered office address is published anywhere on the website at https://www.icpd-international.com. No Companies House registration has been identified for this trading name in searches conducted on 28th April 2026.

The Companies Act 2006, sections 1200–1206, requires UK businesses to disclose the name of the legal person or entity behind a trading name on their website and in commercial correspondence. This requirement applies to sole traders, partnerships, and registered companies alike. iCPD International CPD Activities does not comply with this requirement. The legal person or entity behind the trading name cannot be established from publicly available information.

The absence of a disclosed legal entity means training providers entering into an accreditation arrangement with this organisation cannot establish with certainty who they are contracting with, nor identify how to serve legal correspondence should a dispute arise.

The website refers to "our CEO's" (plural) but names neither individual. The homepage states one is "a qualified teacher and IQA" and the other has "experience in SENCO." No names, professional registrations, or verifiable credentials are provided anywhere on the website.

Transparency of Assessment Framework

No published assessment framework or accreditation criteria document exists on the website. The Membership Area page at https://www.icpd-international.com/blank-2 provides the following description of the organisation's approach:

"With our CPD plans our IQA will ensure all manuals and lesson plans are set at the national standards of education within the chosen specialised field. Ensuring the tutor themselves have worked within the remits long enough to be acceptably experience to pass on their knowledge and skills to someone else. All course materials will be required to be current and up to date with local legislation. Lesson plans will be required to show equality and diversity."

This is a general narrative description rather than a published framework. It does not enable training providers to understand what they are being assessed against before they apply.

Training providers are therefore unable to independently verify what standard their submission will be measured against prior to engaging this organisation.

Pricing Transparency

Pricing is published on the Fees page at https://www.icpd-international.com/services-3. The following annual fee tiers are set out:

1–5 Registered Activities: £199 per annum
6–10 Registered Activities: £249 per annum
11–20 Registered Activities: £329 per annum
Unlimited Registered Activities: £449 per annum

The organisation states that CPD registration is included free with all activities registered under the iCPD framework, and that upgrading between tiers is available at any time. The Membership Area page describes a free Centre Approval step as a prerequisite before activities can be submitted for accreditation.

The Fees page does not set out what is included in each package beyond the number of registered activities, nor whether additional charges apply for certificates, logo usage, assessment of individual activities, or any other element of the service.

Terms and Conditions

No terms and conditions are published on this organisation's website.

A full review of every page of https://www.icpd-international.com found no terms and conditions of any kind. There are no published terms governing the accreditation service, the permitted use of the iCPD International logo, the duration and renewal of accreditation, conditions under which accreditation may be withdrawn, refund or cancellation rights, intellectual property provisions over submitted course materials, or complaints and dispute resolution procedures.

The Membership Form page at https://www.icpd-international.com/membership-form collects names, email addresses, telephone numbers, company names, and other personal and business information from prospective training providers without presenting any terms or conditions prior to or at the point of submission.

Training providers are strongly advised to request a copy of the terms and conditions that will govern any accreditation arrangement before engaging this organisation. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 set out information requirements applicable to consumer-facing commercial transactions. In the absence of published terms, training providers have no advance sight of the contractual framework that will apply to their engagement.

Individual Course Assessment

The Membership Area page at https://www.icpd-international.com/blank-2 describes a model in which providers first obtain a free Centre Approval Number and Certificate, and then submit individual activities for review by the organisation's IQA. This indicates that activities are assessed individually rather than through blanket accreditation of a provider at organisation level.

However, in the absence of a published framework (see Section 3), the criteria against which individual activities are assessed are not publicly knowable in advance.

Source: https://www.icpd-international.com/blank-2 accessed 28th April 2026.

Review and Renewal

The organisation's fee structure is described as payable per annum, which implies an annual renewal cycle exists. No renewal or review process is described anywhere on the website. It is not stated whether:
- Accreditation is subject to a substantive review of course content at annual renewal, or simply renewed on payment of the annual fee
- Course content, tutor qualifications, or legislative compliance are reassessed at any point after initial accreditation
- Any process exists for handling material changes to accredited activities between renewal dates

The absence of any published review cycle means training providers and consumers cannot determine whether an iCPD International accreditation reflects a current assessment of a course or a historic one.

Sale of Training Courses or Materials

No training courses or materials are sold on the website at https://www.icpd-international.com. The organisation presents as an accreditation service only.

However, the homepage contains the following statement: "Having personal experience of Owning and running a training centre, that is still up and running today, we can also help with advice on where you can start."

This indicates that one or both of the individuals behind this organisation currently operate a separate, commercially active training centre. That training centre is not identified by name, website address, or company number anywhere on the website. No safeguards are described to ensure that the independence of accreditation decisions is maintained from the commercial interests of the directors' training activity, and no conflict of interest policy is published.

Training providers are advised to seek clarification on the identity of the training centre referred to and any relationship it may have with this organisation's accreditation decisions before submitting course materials.

Financial Relationships with Third-Party Service Providers

The Insurance Information page at https://www.icpd-international.com/general-7 lists three insurance providers under the heading "Recommended Insurance Companies":
- Insync Insurance
- Westminster Global
- PolicyBee

These recommendations are made without any disclosure of whether a referral fee, commission, affiliate arrangement, or other financial relationship exists between iCPD International CPD Activities and any of the listed insurers. The CAP Code requires that material commercial relationships underpinning recommendations be clearly disclosed. No such disclosure is made on this page or elsewhere on the website.
The existence of a disclosed referral arrangement would not in itself be a concern. The absence of any disclosure where such an arrangement may exist is the concern recorded here.

Source: https://www.icpd-international.com/general-7 accessed 28th April 2026.

Ownership or Control Relationships with Aligned Commercial Interests

As noted in Section 8, the homepage states that the individual(s) behind this organisation own and operate a training centre that remains commercially active alongside the accreditation service. The training centre is not identified by name, URL, or company number.

Because no Companies House registration has been identified for iCPD International CPD Activities, it is not possible to cross-reference directors or Persons with Significant Control against other company appointments to establish whether the training centre is a formally registered entity connected to this organisation.

The undisclosed connection between an active training centre and an accreditation service operated by the same individual(s) represents a structural conflict of interest. No conflict of interest policy, governance statement, or disclosure of the relationship between the two commercial activities is published on the website.

Consistency of Filings with Advertised Activity

No Companies House registration has been identified for iCPD International CPD Activities. It is therefore not possible to assess consistency between statutory filings and advertised commercial activity.

The absence of a registered legal entity means there are no publicly accessible statutory filings — such as annual accounts, confirmation statements, or SIC code classifications — against which the organisation's advertised activity can be verified. If the organisation is operated as a sole trader, Companies House registration is not required, but the legal person behind the trading name would still be required to be disclosed on the website under the Companies Act 2006 trading disclosure requirements, which has not been done (see Section 2).

Companies House Status

No Companies House registration has been identified for the trading name iCPD International CPD Activities or for any entity associated with the address published on the website — Devonshire Business Centre, Unit 26, Works Road, Letchworth, SG6 1GJ — in searches conducted on 28th April 2026.

The organisation may be operated as a sole trader, in which case registration with Companies House is not required by law. However, whether a sole trader or a registered entity, the legal person or entity behind the trading name is required to be disclosed on the website under the Companies Act 2006 trading disclosure provisions. No such disclosure is made.

Training providers and consumers cannot establish the legal structure through which this organisation operates, nor identify the individual(s) personally responsible for its activities, from publicly available information.

Regulatory Rulings and Public Enforcement Records

No ASA rulings naming iCPD International CPD Activities were identified in searches conducted on 28th April 2026. No ICO enforcement notices, monetary penalty notices, or public reprimands naming this organisation were identified. No court or tribunal judgments relating to this organisation were identified in publicly accessible records.

Data Protection Registration (ICO)

No ICO data protection registration has been identified for iCPD International CPD Activities.

Under the Data Protection (Charges and Information) Regulations 2018, organisations that process personal data are required to pay an annual data protection fee to the Information Commissioner's Office and appear on the ICO's public register of fee payers, unless exempt. The Membership Form at https://www.icpd-international.com/membership-form collects personal data from training providers including names, email addresses, telephone numbers, and company details. Processing personal data of this nature would ordinarily require ICO registration.

No registration was found for this organisation or any associated trading name in searches conducted on 28th April 2026. The ICO public register can be searched directly at https://ico.org.uk/ESDWebPages/Search.

Distinguishing CPD from Regulated Qualifications

The website at https://www.icpd-international.com does not use language associated with regulated qualifications. No qualification numbers, Ofqual references, awarding organisation claims, or qualification level designations are used anywhere on the website. There is no indication from the published content that consumers would be likely to confuse the accreditation offered by this organisation with a regulated qualification.

Unsubstantiated Claims

The following claims made on the website at https://www.icpd-international.com are not substantiated by any published evidence and raise concerns under CAP Code rule 3.7 (substantiation) and rule 3.1 (misleading advertising):

1. "Internationally Recognised CPD Accreditation"
This strapline appears prominently on the homepage. No basis for the claim is provided anywhere on the website. There is no reference to any international body, overseas regulatory authority, mutual recognition agreement, or other mechanism through which the accreditation is recognised internationally. No named international organisations, countries, or professional bodies are cited in support. This claim is unsubstantiated under CAP Code rule 3.7 and is potentially misleading under rule 3.1.

2. "Our Accreditation is recognised by many insurance companies who insure CPD accredited courses"
This claim appears on the Insurance Information page at https://www.icpd-international.com/general-7. No insurance companies are named as specifically recognising iCPD International CPD Activities' accreditation. The claim does not distinguish between insurance companies that accept CPD accreditation generically and those that specifically recognise this organisation's accreditation. No supporting evidence is provided. This claim is unsubstantiated under CAP Code rule 3.7.

3. "Over 15 years experience in the education sector"
This claim appears on the homepage. No Companies House registration has been identified for this organisation, so no incorporation date is available. The basis for calculating 15 years — whether from an individual's personal employment history, a prior business, or otherwise — is not disclosed or evidenced anywhere on the website. The claim is not substantiated by any published evidence and may be misleading under CAP Code rules 3.1 and 3.7.
