LEAD Standards for IQN CPD Certification
LEAD stands for four key criteria that uphold our commitment to quality. Our LEAD criteria include: Legal Compliance, Educational Excellence, Accountability & Transparency, and Development & Impact.
Legal Compliance
IQN assesses all CPD activities to ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. We evaluate your CPD programmes to confirm they operate within the required legal framework, upholding a high level of professionalism.
Educational Excellence
Our educational excellence criteria assess that every CPD activity we certify delivers meaningful learning experiences, aligns with industry needs, and contributes to professionals' continuous development. This commitment means that learners acquire skills and knowledge that are both practical and valuable for advancing their careers.
Accountability & Transparency
We assess that all CPD providers clearly communicate the content, structure, and outcomes of their programmes. By being transparent in marketing and communication efforts, providers are required to build trust with their learners and other stakeholders. This transparency enhances credibility and ensures that learners receive accurate and reliable information about their CPD activities.
Development & Impact
