The CPD Standards Office MENA
World-Leading CPD Accreditation Service
Trusted By Industry, Institutes & Professionals
What Is Independent CPD Accreditation?
The CPD Standards Office works with a variety of learning providers, speakers, coaches, employers and knowledge organisations to recognise face-to-face training courses and events, online learning, and one to one coaching.
By providing independent accreditation, our mission is to improve the quality of continuing professional development (CPD) to ensure positive and successful experiences and to make it more affordable and easier to access.

Join A Prestigious, Global Community Of Experienced, CPD Verified Course Creators, Coaches, Educators & Speakers
When you become accredited by the CPD Standards Office, you get more than just a mark of accreditation with the CPD logo.
You also become part of our CPD Standards Community, along with over 1,000 other accredited providers. This community is growing stronger every day, with its huge range of connections to membership organisations, employers and universities.
Our community is also supported by the on-going work of the CPD Research Project. This means that just as your clients and delegates can be sure that your training, learning or coaching activities are independently assessed to the highest standard, you too can be sure that other members of the CPD Standards Community have also been assessed the exact same way. This gives you peace of mind as you exchange best practice and network with other providers, professional bodies, universities and authorities.
Official Accreditation Partner of the Institute of CPD
The CPD Standards Office is the official accreditation partner for the Institute of CPD.
Training providers who are fully accredited with the Office, are allowed to issue official CPD certificates, which individuals can then use as evidence within their annual iCPD record.
Increase The Value Of Your Training Or Learning Experience By Becoming A Verified CPD Provider
If you’re a speaker, offer coaching, courses, training programs or run events and conferences, then we invite you to become CPD accredited with The CPD Standards Office.
Why Choose Us?
We founded the CPD Standards Office as a result of a comprehensive research project into the quality of continuing CPD provision across the country. Our in-depth research surveyed over 1000 professionals, and interviewed a range of professional bodies and regulators. We found that the standards of CPD varied greatly and that too much of the training provided was of remarkably low quality.
What Is CPD?
Continuing professional development (CPD) is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. This could mean honing current skills, it could mean developing them to a new level, or it could mean learning new ones that will allow an employee’s job role to expand or prepare them for potential promotion.
