Independent Advisory Panel

As a team, we have over 100 years of experience in education collectively! That’s a lot of knowledge and expertise I am sure you will agree.

With the ‘CPD Quality Collective’ we bring together a panel of education experts to create an international standard for courseware.

This courseware includes corporate training materials and all printable materials that are intended for providing workshops and other CPD teachings.

You can learn more about getting your own courses certified here and an idea of the way we audit courses.
