Your guide to understanding Trusted CPD Accreditation

Trusted CPD is an independent accreditation service that reviews professional training and learning products to ensure they meet recognised standards of quality, integrity, instructional design, and measurable learning outcomes.

Course providers, tutors, trainers, eLearning developers, consultancies, charities, educators, and organisations that deliver structured learning in any professional or vocational discipline.

We accredit instructor-led courses, eLearning modules, micro-learning, blended learning, workshops, live webinars, conferences, masterclasses, and internal corporate training programmes.

It means the course has been independently reviewed by a Trusted CPD Assessor and meets our full quality and learning outcome standards. Learners can confidently use it toward their Continuing Professional Development requirements.

Application & Accreditation

Simply submit your course details using our online application form. You’ll be prompted to upload supporting materials (e.g., lesson plans, slides, learning objectives, assessments). After submission, an Assessor will be assigned and begin the review process.

We typically require:

  • A course overview / learning objectives

  • A detailed lesson plan or storyboard

  • The actual learning materials (slides, audio, video, written content)

  • Assessment(s) if applicable

  • Evidence of trainer / tutor qualifications (for live delivery)

Most applications are completed within 5–10 working days, depending on course length and completeness of the materials provided.

Your Assessor will provide clear, supportive feedback. You’ll have the opportunity to revise and resubmit without any additional fee.
