Better Training, Better Care: Supporting Quality Continuing Professional Development
The CPD Group is an award-winning accreditation body dedicated to improving professional standards through Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Why is CPD so Important in Care?
In social care, CPD isn’t just a compliance requirement: it’s essential to delivering safe, person-centred care. Ongoing learning helps staff stay confident, skilled, and up to date with changing regulations, best practice, and the evolving needs of those they support.
Watch our Chief Operating Officer Andy’s talk on what CPD is and how it affects those in the Care Industry:
What do we accredit?
We accredit many types of learning activities across the UK and internationally, giving care organisations confidence that development programmes meet recognised standards.
We recognise all types of learning, including online learning, classroom courses, podcasts, edutorials, webinars, events, conferences, and more!
Our A.C.C.R.E.D.I.T.E.D Framework provides a structured, transparent approach to professional development. It ensures that every accredited course has met rigorous standards for content, delivery, and outcomes, helping organisations maintain consistency, accountability, and measurable quality in their training.
With over 11,000 approved providers worldwide, we’re proud to help care employers build skilled, motivated, and compliant teams through credible, trusted CPD.
