Who Are The CPD Group?

The CPD Group (UK) is one of the world’s largest independent Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditors. They review training providers and individual courses to ensure they meet recognised standards for structure, quality, learner experience, and professional relevance.

Their accreditation framework is widely used across health, care, education, community services, and corporate sectors.

What Does “Approved Provider” Mean?

Zenith College of Applied Science is an Approved CPD Provider with The CPD Group. This means our organisation has been independently reviewed for:

  • Quality of training delivery

  • Professional conduct and governance

  • Trainer competence

  • Learner support and assessment processes

  • Accuracy and transparency of information

Our provider number is #789635, and clients can verify our status at: thecpdregister.com

What Is Activity Accreditation?

In addition to provider approval, individual programs can undergo Activity Accreditation. This process reviews each course against CPD Group standards, including:

  • Clear learning outcomes

  • Structured content and delivery

  • Evidence‑based practice

  • Assessment or competency checks (where applicable)

  • Learner experience and engagement

  • Post‑training reflection or application

Accredited programs are awarded CPD points based on delivery hours and learning intensity.

What CPD Means for Care Providers

Choosing CPD‑accredited training gives organisations confidence that programs:

  • Meet recognised professional standards

  • Are structured, consistent, and audit‑ready

  • Support compliance with NDIS Practice Standards

  • Strengthen staff capability and safe practice

  • Provide verifiable evidence for internal CPD requirements

CPD points can be used by staff to demonstrate ongoing professional learning.

What CPD Means for Learners

Participants receive certificates that:

  • Confirm CPD‑eligible learning

  • Show CPD points earned (for accredited programs)

  • Provide evidence for employer or industry CPD logs

  • Support professional growth and career development

Certificates are not qualifications and do not imply AQF, licensing, or regulatory status
