Identity and legal status
We looked for the legal entity behind the website on the home, criteria, pricing, verification, contact, Accreditation Terms & Conditions and site map pages. The site names the business as "VeriCPD" and does not name a registered company or display a company number on the pages reviewed; the footer reads "© 2026 VeriCPD. All rights reserved." The Terms state that they are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Companies House name searches for "VeriCPD" and "Veri CPD" did not return a company of that name. We looked for connected businesses on the pages reviewed and did not identify any. Accessed 28 October 2026.

Contactability
The Contact page carries a contact form and does not display an address, telephone number or email address. We looked for a postal address, telephone number and email address on the home, contact, Accreditation Terms & Conditions and site map pages and in the page links, and did not find them. The site displays a WhatsApp messaging widget headed with an individual's first name. We looked for a named individual, with full name or role, identified as a contact for clients or complaints and did not find one. Accessed 28 October 2026.

Published information
The CPD Accreditation Criteria page describes "VeriCPD’s 31-Point Course Assessment Framework": 30 criteria in six groups (course design; educational design; assessment and learning evaluation; technical quality; learner experience; administration and quality assurance) and a final overall judgement, each graded Meets Standard, Meets Standard with Recommendation or Does Not Meet Standard. The page states that the detailed framework is available to providers on request. The pricing page publishes £350 for one course, £650 for up to three, £950 for up to five and £1,600 for up to ten. Accreditation Terms & Conditions are published, last updated August 2026, covering decisions, accreditation period and renewal, use of the mark, suspension and withdrawal, and intellectual property in submitted materials. Section 18 is headed "Complaints and Review of Accreditation Decisions". The Terms refer to a privacy policy; we looked for it in the footer, the site map and at /privacy-policy/ and did not find it. The site is served over HTTPS.
The Terms state that accreditation "applies only to the specific course, programme, event or learning activity that has been assessed and approved". The home page states that approved training receives "an accreditation number", and the CPD Verification page offers a lookup by accreditation number. Terms section 11 states that accreditation "is valid only for the accreditation period stated in the accreditation confirmation, certificate or VeriCPD register" and that renewal or reassessment may be required; we looked for the length of that period and did not find it stated. ICO register searches by organisation name ("VeriCPD" and "Veri CPD") returned no entries; no postcode is published, so a postcode search could not be run. Accessed 28 October 2026.

The home page states "VeriCPD is an independent UK CPD accreditation body".

The CPD Verification page is headed "Official VeriCPD Register". The pricing page states "Many pages in this sector stay vague and ask you to contact sales first." Accessed 28 October 2026.
