20% discount on all CPD accreditation packages for Coursecheck customers
What is the CPD Standards Office?
The CPD Standards Office, or CPDSO, was founded in 2012 after a major academic research project involving Kingston Business School, Warwick, and Oxford University.
The research revealed a significant gap in the quality of CPD courses, which were often irrelevant or subpar.
In response, the CPDSO worked with over 50 UK professional bodies and regulators to establish a set of independent standards for CPD accreditation.
Today, CPDSO accredits training providers, academies, and exceptional educators across more than 60 countries.
Collectively, CPD accredited educators and members of The CPD Standards Office train over 250,000 people each year, improving the quality and effectiveness of CPD worldwide.
The CPD Standards Office accreditation in a nutshell

Their work ensures that CPD activities are high-quality, relevant, and valuable for professionals. With their expertise, CPDSO is recognised by professional bodies, trade associations, and regulators across different industries.
