Published information
The CPD Professional Framework page publishes "The CPD IQ PROFESSIONAL Quality Standards", twelve elements each with a description. The Pricing page states that membership is free and publishes accreditation fees of GBP 500 per year for 1 to 5 courses, GBP 1,400 per year for 6 to 19 courses and GBP 3,000 per year for 20 to 100 courses. Terms of Service and Provider Agreement are published, effective 25 May 2026. A Privacy Policy is published, effective 25 May 2026. We looked for a complaints or appeals procedure for the accreditation service on the Terms, Privacy Policy, Contact and home pages and did not find one; the Privacy Policy's complaints section concerns data protection complaints. The site is served over HTTPS.
The Terms state that "Approval or recognition by CPD IQ applies only to the specific learning activity or materials reviewed". The Apply for CPD page states that registered providers receive "your unique reference number"; we looked for a unique accreditation number for each course and did not find one stated. The home page links to public profile pages for named accredited providers, and the site has a Validate Your Certificate page. The Pricing page states fees per year, and the Terms state that recognition may operate on "fixed-term or recurring renewal periods" and that CPD IQ "may conduct periodic audits or compliance reviews". An ICO register search by the company name returned registration ZB950391 for INTERNATIONAL QUALITY ASSESSMENTS LTD at 128 City Road, registered on 2 August 2025, listing "CPD International Quality (CPD IQ)" among its other names; a search for "CPD IQ" returned no entry; a search by the published postcode returned more than 100 registrations.
