Professional Beauty Development - CPD Accreditation Service

Professional Beauty Development - CPD Accreditation Service

Explanation as to why this organisation does not have a ranking:

Professional Beauty Development offer training courses. We believe this is a conflict of interest for those that are submitting their own manuals.

Due to Companies House releasing their new requirements for organisations under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, we have taken the view that the Professional Beauty Development should not be listed on the register as they do not publish an address which means they are non-traceable and non-verifiable.

Although Professional Beauty Development is not a limited company, we have taken the view that the requirements within the Act should be applicable to all business types, not just those that are registered with Companies House. We feel that it is imperative that the CPD Consumer has the confidence that they are dealing with a genuine CPD Accreditation Service Provider, where the business owners have been identified and are contactable in the event of a legal issue.

Professional Beauty Development are not listed on The CPD Register as they sell courses themselves. We believe that this is a conflict of interest and does not demonstrate impartiality. It is also likely that they are accrediting their own manuals/training. They are also associated with insurance which again, we do not believe demonstrated impartiality.

Important Information:

This organisation is advertising courses with the below wording in the course title:

  • Qualification
  • Diploma
  • Award
  • Level

Following further research into this organisation and contact with them, we advise all CPD Consumers, before they purchase or enrol on a course provided by this organisation, that they seek clarification from them that the course they are advertising, is indeed a Regulated Qualification.

For this to be a fully regulated Qualification, with academic credits, the organisation should be able to provide you with the following information:

  • Qualification Title
  • Qualification Number
  • Awarding Organisation Name they are approved by to deliver this Qualification

If the organisation is unable to provide this information, you can assume that the course is being incorrectly advertised and is a CPD Course and NOT a ‘Qualification’.

They use misleading terms about Qualifications

CPD courses enhance existing knowledge, while Qualifications require formal assessment. Be wary of misleading terms like "Qualified" or "Level" used for CPD courses. Verify Qualification claims with the provider, checking for details about the awarding body, qualification number, and approval certificate. If a course isn't a Qualification, ensure it's CPD Accredited by a reputable provider. Understanding the difference between CPD and Qualifications is essential for making informed decisions about your professional development.

They sell training materials themselves

We believe this is a conflict of interest and does not demonstrate impartiality. Secondly it brings into question what a training provider will do with another CPD Training Providers training materials during the accreditation process. We feel that this is a risk to the intellectual property of the submitting CPD Training Provider and caution should be given.

They do not meet the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act Guidance for Businesses

The CPD Accreditation Service Providers below do not comply with the regulations set out within the 'Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act'. The Act introduces ID verification for business owners and an appropriate trading/ registered office (PO Box Addresses are not accepted) where legal documentation sent to the company is guaranteed to be delivered to the business owners. We have taken the view that the requirements within the Act should be applicable to all business types, not just those that are registered with Companies House. These changes give the CPD Consumer confidence that they are dealing with a genuine CPD Accreditation Service Provider, where the business owners have been identified and are contactable in the event of a legal issue.
