Take Control of Your Training Accreditation with CPD Self-Accreditation

In today’s ever-evolving professional landscape, keeping your training programmes accredited and relevant is more critical than ever. But for many training providers, the thought of gaining CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accreditation can feel daunting, expensive, and time-consuming. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—but it doesn’t have to be this way.

At Open CPD, we believe self-accreditation is the future of professional development, and we’ve built a system that makes the process simple, flexible, and cost-effective. In this article, we’ll break down how CPD self-accreditation works and how you can take control of your courses—without the hassle of traditional methods.

What is CPD Self-Accreditation?

CPD self-accreditation empowers training providers to accredit their own courses without the need for external authorities or lengthy approval processes. You define the learning objectives, skills, and outcomes that your participants will achieve, and issue verifiable, tamper-proof certificates upon course completion.

By removing the middlemen, you’re in full control of your course content, allowing you to tailor it specifically to your audience’s needs. The flexibility to update and modify your training as markets evolve means you’re always ahead of the curve—without needing to seek re-approval or get bogged down by red tape.
