As 2026 approaches, training providers are increasingly reviewing how their learning activities are structured, evidenced and presented. CPD accreditation now plays a much broader role, reflecting the quality, structure and professional intent behind a learning activity.
For many providers, accreditation feels complex. In reality, readiness often comes down to a few fundamentals. Clear learning outcomes, a defined audience, structured content and evidence that learning adds value beyond attendance. If your activities already demonstrate these elements, you may be closer to accreditation than you realise.
The CPD QS membership and accreditation process is designed to be straightforward and transparent. Providers begin by joining CPD QS, then prepare their activity materials before submitting them for review. Each activity is assessed against recognised CPD criteria to ensure it meets professional standards. Once approved, providers can confidently deliver accredited training, issue certificates and promote their CPD QS status.
With professional expectations rising across sectors, 2026 presents a practical opportunity to strengthen your training offer and align it with recognised CPD standards. Early preparation allows providers to refine their content, streamline submissions and approach accreditation with confidence rather than urgency.
If you are planning to grow, refine or future-proof your learning activities, now is the right time to consider whether your training is CPD-ready for 2026.
