The CPD Standards Office

The CPD Standards Office is part of the Professional Development Consortium. By working with providers to enable positive and successful CPD activities, our mission is to raise the standard of CPD.
Our CPD community is formed of a growing number of training providers, employers, universities, professional bodies, institutes and regulators.

Our mission is to support everyone involved in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to make it better, easier and more affordable.

We help CPD providers ensure that they deliver consistently high-quality training that is inclusive and collaborative. Our marks of excellence for training and learning providers demonstrate to individual professionals that the learning activity conforms to CPD best practice and is appropriate for inclusion in a formal CPD record. We pioneer new ways of working into the CPD field and have recently introduced a digital certificate service for our providers using Blockchain technology.
