For providers

What accreditation actually gets you.

A quality mark is only worth what it does for your business. Here's exactly what comes with AssuredCPD accreditation — and what we'll never do.

The AssuredCPD logo licence

Display the mark on your website, course pages, and marketing. An independently-assessed badge of quality your learners and corporate buyers can trust.

Public directory listing

Your organisation appears in the AssuredCPD provider directory — a discoverable, searchable record that confirms your accreditation is current and genuine.

Verifiable certificates

Every certificate you issue carries a unique code. Anyone — a learner, an employer, a regulator — can confirm its authenticity on our Verify page in seconds.

Advisory support

All members get guidance on meeting and maintaining the framework; our larger memberships add an annual quality audit and co-branded marketing materials.

Our promise of independence

We sell the mark. We never compete with you.

AssuredCPD does not produce or sell training content. We will never launch courses that compete with the providers we accredit, and we will never sell your learner data. Our only product is impartial accreditation — that's what makes the mark worth carrying.

  • No content sales — ever. We are an accreditation body, not a course publisher.
  • Transparent, published standards — you know exactly what you're assessed against.
  • Our sister platform Lectern is operated as a separate company so AssuredCPD's impartiality is protected.

Before you apply

What to prepare

Accreditation is quicker — and more likely to pass first time — when your submission is complete. For most courses, have the following ready.

  • A timed outline or lesson plan — the structure of the course, including session timings and breaks, so an assessor can follow the learning journey from start to finish.
  • Your slides or materials, with speaker / presenter notes — notes keep delivery consistent and let the assessor understand the intended content, especially where slides are visual.
  • Clear, measurable learning outcomes — what a learner will be able to do on completion, not simply "understand".
  • Any assessment, with answers — if the course includes a quiz or test, include the questions, the correct answers, and any pass mark so we can assess it properly.
  • Learner feedback and handouts — any evaluation form or materials you give to learners.
  • Access details for online courses — a URL and a login we can use to review a live or self-paced course.

Keep materials educational rather than promotional — we ask that branding is limited to opening and closing slides. Every submission is assessed against the six domains of the AssuredCPD Standards Framework.
