Review and Evaluation
Upon receiving the application, the CPD accreditation body conducts a thorough review to assess the quality and relevance of the CPD activity.
The review process may involve a panel of experts in the relevant field who evaluate the alignment of the activity with professional standards and learning objectives.
The accreditation body may request additional information or clarification from the provider during the review process.

If the activity meets the required standards, the accreditation body grants accreditation and issues a certificate or accreditation seal to the provider.
If the activity does not meet the standards, the accreditation body provides feedback to the provider and may offer guidance on areas for improvement.
