Breaking the Accreditation Myth

We speak to providers who say: “I always thought CPD accreditation was something only the big training companies could offer.” Excellent training shouldn't be held back by confusing, expensive systems.

Important Compliance Note

Open CPD supports self-accreditation for the majority of training programmes. However, in some professions, CPD certification must follow specific rules. It is your responsibility to ensure your training complies with any local legal or industry-specific requirements. Download our MAP OF CPD for more information.
