VeriCPD - The CPD Register Review

Commercial identification and contactability

The website operates under the trading name VeriCPD at https://vericpd.co.uk/. No legal entity name, company registration number, or registered address is disclosed anywhere on the website, including the homepage, contact page, or any other publicly accessible page reviewed during this assessment.

The contact page at https://vericpd.co.uk/contact/ (accessed 11 May 2026) provides only a web form and offers no telephone number, email address, or physical address. No trading disclosure appears in the website footer or elsewhere, identifying the person or entity behind the VeriCPD trading name.

The Companies Act 2006 (sections 1200–1206) requires businesses trading under a name other than their own legal name to disclose the legal name on their website and in commercial correspondence. No such disclosure was identified on this website. A search of Companies House did not return a registered company matching the VeriCPD trading name.

A CPD accreditation organisation that collects payments from training providers and issues accreditation decisions without disclosing its legal identity fails the basic contactability standard required for transparent commercial operation.

Transparency of assessment framework

The website publishes general CPD assessment criteria across several pages. The homepage at https://vericpd.co.uk/ (accessed 11 May 2026) lists criteria including clear learning objectives, professional relevance, logical structure, appropriate duration, and educational value. A dedicated page at https://vericpd.co.uk/what-makes-a-course-cpd-compliant/ (accessed 11 May 2026) expands on these criteria.

Pricing transparency

Pricing is published in full on a dedicated page at https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-accreditation-cost-2/ (accessed 11 May 2026). Fixed prices are listed as follows: £350 for one course, £650 for up to three courses, £950 for up to five courses, and £1,600 for up to ten courses. Payments are processed via Stripe and direct payment links are provided on the pricing page itself.

The pricing page states that costs are fixed and not quote-based, and notes that the price includes independent review, assessment against CPD standards, feedback where information is required, and the ability to reference accredited status on approval.

No renewal fees, ongoing membership charges, or additional service fees are disclosed, and it is not clear from the published information whether accreditation is granted for a defined term or in perpetuity.

Terms and conditions

No terms and conditions are published on the website. No link to terms and conditions was identified in the website navigation, footer, contact page, or pricing page during the review conducted on 11 May 2026. The pricing page at https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-accreditation-cost-2/ directs users to Stripe payment links without reference to any terms governing the accreditation service itself.

Similarly, no privacy policy was identified on the website. The contact form at https://vericpd.co.uk/contact/ collects personal data including name, email, and telephone number with no data protection notice, privacy policy link, or statement of lawful basis for processing.

The absence of published terms and conditions means that training providers making payment have no documented basis for understanding what the accreditation covers, the duration of accreditation, grounds for withdrawal, or their rights in respect of refunds or disputes. The absence of a privacy policy is inconsistent with the requirements of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 for organisations processing personal data via website forms.

Training providers are advised to request copies of both terms and conditions and a privacy policy before engaging with this organisation.

Individual course assessment

The website describes an assessor-led process in which individual courses are submitted for review. The process page at https://vericpd.co.uk/how-cpd-accreditation-works/ (accessed 11 May 2026) outlines a six-step workflow: submission, suitability review, detailed assessment, CPD value review, accreditation decision, and certification. This description implies individual course assessment rather than blanket provider accreditation.

However, it is not possible to verify whether this process is consistently applied in practice, as no publicly searchable register of accredited courses or providers was identified. The CPD verification page at https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-verification/ (accessed 11 May 2026) references a verification tool and links to an external page at https://legionellaassessment-bit.github.io/veri-cpd-log/ (accessed 11 May 2026). That external page, which is hosted on GitHub Pages under an account associated with a Legionella risk assessment business, displays no accreditation records whatsoever. The page states: "Certification records and assessment logs will appear here." No records are present.

The absence of any verifiable accreditation register raises a significant concern regarding the organisation's operational history and the evidential basis for any claims of issued accreditations.

Review and renewal

No information is published on the website regarding the duration of accreditation, renewal requirements, or review cycles. The pricing page at https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-accreditation-cost-2/ (accessed 11 May 2026) presents accreditation as a one-off payment per course submission with no reference to any ongoing relationship, periodic review, or renewal fee. It is therefore unclear whether accreditations granted by VeriCPD carry an expiry date or are treated as permanent.

The absence of a defined review or renewal process means that training providers cannot assess whether VeriCPD accreditation will remain meaningful over time, and learners cannot rely on accredited status as a current reflection of a course's quality.

Sale of training courses or materials

No evidence was identified of VeriCPD selling training courses or learning materials to training providers or learners. The website is focused exclusively on the provision of CPD accreditation and certification services.

Source: https://vericpd.co.uk/ — accessed 11 May 2026.

Financial relationships with third-party service providers

No affiliate arrangements, referral fee relationships, or financial relationships with third-party service providers are disclosed on the website. Payments are processed via Stripe, which is a standard payment processor and does not in itself indicate a referral relationship.

Source: https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-accreditation-cost-2/ — accessed 11 May 2026.

Ownership or control relationships with aligned commercial interests

The CPD verification page at https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-verification/ (accessed 11 May 2026) directs users to a verification log hosted at https://legionellaassessment-bit.github.io/veri-cpd-log/. This page is published under a GitHub account associated with legionellaassessment.co.uk, a separate commercial business providing Legionella risk assessment certificates.

The VeriCPD website does not disclose any ownership or control information, and no legal entity is identified behind the VeriCPD trading name. The connection between VeriCPD's verification infrastructure and a Legionella risk assessment business operating through the same GitHub account raises a material question about the ownership, independence, and governance of the VeriCPD operation that cannot be resolved from publicly available information.

No disclosure of this relationship — or of any other ownership or control relationship — is made anywhere on the VeriCPD website.

Consistency of filings with advertised activity

No legal entity has been identified behind the VeriCPD trading name, and no corresponding entry was found on Companies House matching the trading name or the described business activity. Without a confirmed legal entity, it is not possible to cross-reference the advertised activity against Companies House filings, filed accounts, or SIC code classifications.

The website's most recent page modifications, as recorded in the page metadata, are dated April 2026, indicating a recently established or recently updated operation. No filed accounts are available and no evidence of trading history is accessible through the public register.

Companies House status

No legal entity corresponding to VeriCPD or the vericpd.co.uk domain was identified on the Companies House register at the time of this review. The website does not disclose a company registration number, a registered legal name, or a registered office address.

The failure to disclose a legal entity on a commercial website engaged in commercial transactions is inconsistent with the trading disclosure requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (sections 1200–1206) and limits the ability of training providers to verify the legal standing of the entity with which they are contracting.

Website status

Active. The website at https://vericpd.co.uk/ was accessible and serving commercial content at the time of this review. The site is built on WordPress (version 6.9.4 as recorded in page metadata) and presents a functioning commercial accreditation service with a pricing page, contact form, and linked Stripe payment pages.

Regulatory rulings and public enforcement records

No ASA rulings, ICO enforcement actions, Trading Standards referrals, or other formal regulatory decisions were identified against VeriCPD or the vericpd.co.uk domain at the time of this review. The absence of a ruling does not indicate compliance; it reflects the current state of the public enforcement record only.

Distinguishing CPD from regulated qualifications

The website does not claim to offer or confer regulated qualifications. The content consistently describes the service as CPD accreditation and certification, and makes no reference to Ofqual-regulated qualifications, awarding organisation status, or qualification levels. The CPD certification page at https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-certification/ (accessed 11 May 2026) explicitly distinguishes accreditation (the assessment process) from certification (the recognition issued after approval), without conflating either with regulated qualification status.
No concern arises under this criterion from the content reviewed.

Source: https://vericpd.co.uk/cpd-certification/ — accessed 11 May 2026.

Unsubstantiated claims

The homepage at https://vericpd.co.uk/ (accessed 11 May 2026) describes VeriCPD as providing "independent CPD accreditation" and positions the service as "assessor-led." These claims carry specific implications: that assessors are independent of the training providers being assessed, that a structured and governed review process exists, and that the assessors hold appropriate expertise.

No evidence is provided on the website to substantiate any of these claims. No assessor credentials, organisational governance arrangements, or accreditation body standards are published. No register of accredited courses is maintained in a publicly accessible and populated form. The verification log linked from the CPD Verification page contains no records.

The website also refers in two testimonials to named individuals — "Anita Devi, Team ADL" and "Simon Rickman, Development Coach" — as clients whose courses have been assessed by VeriCPD. These testimonials are reproduced as evidence of client satisfaction. No independent verification of these testimonials has been provided on the website, and no accreditation records appear in the linked verification log to corroborate any course having been assessed and approved.

The combination of independence and assessor-led claims without verifiable supporting evidence, and testimonials without corroborating records, presents a risk of misleading training providers about the nature and standing of the accreditation service being offered.
