Assessor approval
Put your experience forward for review. We assess your qualifications, sector knowledge and suitability to review CPD learning.
Become an assessorAccreditation that gives CPD clarity.
Structured review for course materials, provider standards and certificate records, so every approval is clear, consistent and ready to verify.
CPD works best when the learning, evidence and certificate wording all point to the same record.
Clear review gives providers confidence before they publish, promote or issue CPD certificates.
Learners and employers can understand what was completed, when it was awarded and which approval record supports it.
What happens before approval.
Most delays happen when the evidence is not ready. These steps show what to prepare, how review works and what approval confirms.
