The CPD Credit Registry - The CPD Register Review

Commercial identification and contactability

The website trades as The CPD Credit Registry and presents a physical address of Unit 18 Arts Village, Henry Street, Liverpool, United Kingdom, L1 5BS, a telephone number, and an email address. These contact details are displayed in the website footer.

No legal entity name is disclosed anywhere on the website. The website does not state the registered name, company number, or legal structure of the organisation operating behind the trading name "The CPD Credit Registry". Searches of Companies House under the names "CPD Credit Registry", "CPD Registry", and "cpdregistry" returned no matching UK company registration as at 18 May 2026.

The website states it is "Verified & Registered — Based in Liverpool, UK with full compliance" (https://cpdregistry.org/, accessed 18 May 2026).

This claim is unsubstantiated: no registered legal entity underpinning this trading name has been identified, and no ICO registration has been found (see Section 11). The basis on which the organisation describes itself as "verified & registered" and "with full compliance" is not explained and is not independently verifiable.

Transparency of assessment framework

The website homepage makes repeated reference to an assessment framework. It states "Every course individually assessed against 25 comprehensive criteria" and "Transparent & Rigorous Standards — Every course individually assessed against comprehensive criteria", and includes a "VIEW FRAMEWORK" call-to-action button linking to https://cpdregistry.org/assessment-framework.

On navigating to https://cpdregistry.org/assessment-framework (accessed 18 May 2026), the page renders identical content to the homepage. No assessment criteria, framework document, or criteria list is published or accessible at this URL. The page title remains "Home - The CPD Credit Registry" regardless of the route navigated to.

The organisation therefore makes prominent claims about its framework without publishing that framework in any accessible form. Training providers and consumers cannot review the criteria against which their courses would be assessed before applying or before relying on an accreditation.

Pricing transparency

The website homepage includes a banner stating "Free Accreditation Until March 2026 — Get your training programs accredited at no cost during our launch period". This promotion refers to a period that has now passed (the review date is May 2026) and it is not clear whether this claim remains accurate or whether the launch offer has ended. No pricing information has been updated to reflect the current position.

Both the main navigation Pricing link (https://cpdregistry.org/pricing, accessed 18 May 2026) and the sub-navigation For Providers > Pricing link (https://cpdregistry.org/provider/pricing, accessed 18 May 2026) render the same homepage content. No pricing schedule, fee table, or statement of current charges is published or accessible on the website.

The organisation claims on its homepage: "Clear pricing and published assessment criteria" under the heading "Complete Transparency". This claim is directly contradicted by the absence of any published pricing.

Terms and conditions

The website footer includes a link labelled "Terms & Conditions" pointing to https://cpdregistry.org/terms. On navigating to this URL (accessed 18 May 2026), the page renders the homepage content. No terms and conditions document or text is published or accessible at this location or elsewhere on the website.

Without published terms and conditions, training providers engaging with The CPD Credit Registry have no published contractual basis governing the accreditation relationship, including the duration of accreditation, renewal requirements, refund policy, grounds for withdrawal of accreditation, or dispute resolution procedures.

Individual course assessment

The website states on the homepage: "Every course individually assessed against 25 comprehensive criteria" and "Rigorous Standards — Every course individually assessed against 25 comprehensive criteria". These statements appear in both the hero carousel and the "Why Choose The CPD Credit Registry?" section.

The homepage also lists under "Training Providers": "Organization accreditation (Free)" and "Program accreditation" as distinct service offerings. The inclusion of "Organization accreditation" as a separate line item raises the question of whether the organisation operates a blanket or provider-level accreditation model in addition to course-level accreditation. This is not explained or distinguished on the website.

No verifiable register of accredited courses is published, and no detail of the individual assessment process is accessible (see Section 2 regarding the absence of a published assessment framework). The claim of individual course assessment cannot therefore be independently verified.

Review and renewal

No review or renewal cycle is disclosed on the website. No information is provided regarding how long accreditation remains valid, whether accreditations are subject to periodic review, or what the renewal process involves.

Source: https://cpdregistry.org/ — accessed 18 May 2026.

Sale of training courses or materials

No evidence was found on the website at the time of review that The CPD Credit Registry sells its own training courses or materials to the market it accredits. The website presents accreditation and a CPD tracking service for individuals as its primary offerings.

The "My CPD Tracker" functionality described on the website is directed at individual learners tracking CPD hours, rather than at training providers. It does not on its face constitute a competing training offering.

Source: https://cpdregistry.org/ — accessed 18 May 2026.

Financial relationships with third-party service providers

No financial relationships with third-party service providers (such as insurance providers, professional membership bodies, or referral partners) are disclosed on the website.

Source: https://cpdregistry.org/ — accessed 18 May 2026.

Ownership or control relationships with aligned commercial interests

The legal entity operating under the trading name "The CPD Credit Registry" has not been identified. No directors, principals, or owners are named on the website. Without disclosure of the legal entity, it is not possible to assess whether any ownership or control relationships exist between this organisation and aligned commercial interests such as training providers or professional bodies.

The absence of any named individuals responsible for accreditation decisions is a specific concern. Accreditation requires independent judgment; where the identity of those making accreditation decisions is not disclosed, consumers and training providers have no basis for assessing the independence of that judgment.

Source: https://cpdregistry.org/ — accessed 18 May 2026.

Consistency of filings with advertised activity

No UK Companies House registration has been identified for the entity trading as "The CPD Credit Registry". Searches conducted on 18 May 2026 under the names "CPD Credit Registry", "CPD Registry", and "cpdregistry" returned no matching active or dissolved company.

The website states the organisation is "Verified & Registered — Based in Liverpool, UK with full compliance". No evidence of any company, limited liability partnership, or other registered UK legal entity operating this service has been found. The organisation may operate as a sole trader, in which case no Companies House filing would be expected; however, no sole trader disclosure or alternative legal structure explanation is provided on the website.

The copyright notice in the website footer reads "© 2026 The CPD Credit Registry. All rights reserved." This confirms the trading name but does not identify a legal entity.

Companies House status

A search of the Companies House register at find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk on 18 May 2026 returned no registered company matching the name "The CPD Credit Registry", "CPD Credit Registry", "CPD Registry", or "cpdregistry".

A search of the ICO register of fee payers at ico.org.uk on 18 May 2026 for the name "cpd credit registry" returned the result: "There are no entries that match your search criteria." A postcode search for L1 5BS (the address published on the website) returned five registrations, none of which corresponds to The CPD Credit Registry or any CPD-related organisation.

The organisation has no identifiable UK Companies House registration and no identifiable ICO data protection registration. If the organisation is processing personal data of training providers and individual CPD tracker users (as its services imply), an ICO registration is likely required under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Website status

The website at https://cpdregistry.org/ is active and resolves correctly as at 18 May 2026. The site is a React single-page application. Multiple route URLs listed in the navigation — including /pricing, /assessment-framework, /terms, /about, /contact, /provider/pricing, and /privacy — all render the same homepage content. The page title for all routes is "Home - The CPD Credit Registry".

In practical terms, any training provider or consumer navigating to the pricing, terms, assessment framework, or legal pages via the published navigation links will be presented with homepage content rather than the expected information. The website's internal routing is not currently functioning to serve distinct content for these routes.

This means that claims of "Complete Transparency — Clear pricing and published assessment criteria" made on the homepage are unsupported by accessible content elsewhere on the site.

Regulatory rulings and public enforcement records

A search of the ASA rulings database at asa.org.uk on 18 May 2026 returned no rulings against The CPD Credit Registry. No ICO enforcement notices, Trading Standards referrals, or court judgments relating to this organisation were identified in the course of this review.

Distinguishing CPD from regulated qualifications

The website does not use terminology associated with regulated qualifications (such as "Level 2", "Level 3", "Ofqual", or "Diploma") in its marketing materials. No claims are made that the accreditation constitutes or is equivalent to a regulated qualification.

The service is presented as CPD accreditation. No confusion between CPD accreditation and regulated qualifications was identified in the website content reviewed on 18 May 2026.

Unsubstantiated claims

The following claims on the website are unsubstantiated and, where applicable, potentially misleading under the CAP Code:
"Leading provider of CPD accreditation services across all professional sectors" — Homepage hero carousel (https://cpdregistry.org/, accessed 18 May 2026). The organisation appears to be newly established. No evidence is provided to substantiate that it is a "leading provider". This is a superlative comparative claim under CAP Code rule 3.33 and requires objective basis to support it.
"Verified & Registered — Based in Liverpool, UK with full compliance" — Homepage, "Why Choose The CPD Credit Registry?" section (https://cpdregistry.org/, accessed 18 May 2026). No evidence of registration with Companies House or the ICO has been found. The phrase "with full compliance" is not explained and cannot be verified.
"Join training providers across all sectors who trust The CPD Credit Registry" — Homepage call-to-action section (https://cpdregistry.org/, accessed 18 May 2026). Given the website's apparent recent establishment and the absence of a published accredited provider register, this claim implies an established client base that cannot be verified.
"Free Accreditation Until March 2026" — Homepage carousel (https://cpdregistry.org/, accessed 18 May 2026). This promotion has elapsed as at the date of review. The current pricing and offer position is not stated.
"Complete Transparency — Clear pricing and published assessment criteria" — Homepage (https://cpdregistry.org/, accessed 18 May 2026). Neither pricing nor assessment criteria are accessible on the website. This claim is directly contradicted by the evidence.
"100% Transparent Process" — Homepage statistics banner (https://cpdregistry.org/, accessed 18 May 2026). The process is not published. This claim is unsubstantiated.
Source: https://cpdregistry.org/ — accessed 18 May 2026.
Priority action: All superlative, comparative, and compliance-based claims should be reviewed against the CAP Code and either substantiated with evidence or removed. In particular, the "leading provider" and "Verified & Registered with full compliance" claims require immediate attention.
