Recognised Professional Qualifications
Our Finance, Bookkeeping, Microsoft Office, HR, Project Management and Business Skills courses all boast accreditation by the CPD Standards Institute.
The CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Standard is highly regarded globally for professional skills training. Many professional bodies and qualifications require their members to complete a minimum number of CPD courses and earn points annually. The principles of the CPD Standards mean that a course must deliver genuine career skills. Therefore, the CPD Standards Institute reviews quality standards, learning material and course outcomes. This ensures that training is of a very high standard.
A CPD badge sends a message to employers that you have gained genuine and measurable skills that will enhance your job performance and career progression. CPD certification is available on completion of all our courses.
