Key considerations

Choose the right route

01

Provider approval

An organizational entry point for eligible training providers, offered without a provider approval fee.

02

Program accreditation

Independent review of a defined course or learning program against CPE quality standards.

03

Broader recognition

Pathways for certificates, organizations, portfolios, and professionals working in CPE.

01

Find the right pathway

Training Provider Approval considers whether an organization has the foundations to operate responsibly. CPE Program Accreditation examines a specific learning activity. Organization Accreditation considers quality systems across a wider portfolio, while certificate and professional pathways focus on their respective evidence and scope.

  • Providers may hold more than one pathway
  • Approval scope is stated in the decision
  • A provider approval does not automatically accredit every program
02

Evidence-led review

Applications are evaluated against documented criteria. Reviewers consider governance, educational purpose, learning design, instructor competence, learner support, assessment, completion controls, records, complaints, and improvement in proportion to the pathway.

03

Recognition with clear limits

Accreditation communicates that the approved scope has met our private independent standards. It is not governmental licensure, does not override professional regulation, and does not guarantee acceptance by every employer or licensing body.
