What Does CPD Accreditation Mean?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development — a widely used framework for ongoing professional learning.
CPD accreditation confirms that a course meets professional development standards in relation to structure, learning objectives, and delivery.

It is important to note:
CPD accreditation is not an Ofqual-regulated qualification.

Regulated qualifications require approval and certification from an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation.
CPD accreditation recognises professional learning and development. It does not replace a regulated qualification where one is legally required.

Our Approach to CPD Accreditation

Ashley Jade CPD Accreditation is a commercial CPD certification service and is not a governmental or statutory body.
Where applicable, our own training programmes are externally accredited through an independent CPD accreditation body to ensure separation between training delivery and accreditation oversight.
We do not present CPD accreditation as governmental approval or statutory regulation.

Our focus is to provide:

  • Clear accreditation criteria
  • Transparent documentation
  • Defined learning outcomes
  • Professional certification

CPD accreditation:

✔ Recognises structured professional development
✔ Supports professional credibility
✔ Provides CPD certification upon successful review

CPD accreditation does not:

✘ Constitute a regulated qualification
✘ Provide awarding body status
✘ Replace legally required regulated training
