FAQs
What's an accredited course?
Accredited courses have been approved by a professional body, meaning they meet the standards required for quality and relevance in the industry. In the UK, this ensures that the course content aligns with industry expectations and that it withstands the requirements of the job market. For example, a business management course might be accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
Every course, as well as its accreditation, may vary depending on the course provider and the accreditation body.
What are CPD courses?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses are designed for professionals aiming to maintain and enhance their skills within their respective industries. These courses are essential for staying up to date with the latest practices and regulations.
Although not all CPD courses are accredited, completing them demonstrates a commitment to continuous learning and a readiness to meet the evolving demands of the profession, which is highly regarded by employers and industry bodies.
What are CPD hours/points?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) focuses on enhancing and updating your professional skills. In many professions and organisations, you may need to accumulate a set number of CPD hours or points each year.

What are “endorsed” courses and who endorses them?
