What is CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. 

CPD helps professionals stay relevant, improve performance, and continue developing their skills through structured learning and professional development.

CPD Providers are training institutes, colleges, professional bodies, and organisations that deliver learning activities for professionals. This may include courses, workshops, seminars, webinars, conferences, and other structured professional development activities.

CPD Certification recognises the quality and professional value of learning activities delivered by CPD Providers. CPD Certification confirms that courses, workshops, seminars, webinars, and other professional development activities meet recognised standards for effective learning and professional growth.

CPD Credit Hours (CCH) is a clear and structured system used to measure professional learning.

CPD Certification by IQN allows the providers to issue CCH using IQN’s official framework.

• 1 hour of learning = 1 CPD Credit Hour (CCH)

Once your courses have been approved, you will receive the Certified CPD logo to add to your in-house learner certificates. You may issue an unlimited number of in-house certificates using our logo. CPD Certification by IQN operates on a simple fixed annual fee and does not charge per learner or per certificate.

Unlike many CPD accreditation providers without formal external approval, IQN has deep expertise in UK quality assurance. The recognition of our qualifications under SCQF reinforces this credibility. 

Once your organisation has been approved, you will receive an official digital approval certificate from IQN. This certificate can be displayed digitally, printed for display at your premises, and used as a strong mark of achievement and commitment to quality professional development.

Only CPD Certification by IQN allows your organisation to assign and issue structured CPD Credit Hours (CCH) for courses and professional development activities approved by us.

We offer competitive and affordable CPD certification with a simple annual fee structure to suit the needs of both small and large providers, ensuring excellent value for money and easy access to certification.
