Quality CPD Accreditation QCPD
Our QCPD verifies the professional quality of your CPD activity and its true learning value. This University stamp of approval carries the weight of our rigorous processes and excellent reputation.
We have a long tradition of engaging with increasingly diverse organisations who deliver a wide range of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities.
Many partners value academic accreditation from the University and have developed collaborative arrangements with us to improve the quality and reach of their CPD or to create new educational pathways and awards from the University.
However, not everyone is looking for academic awards these days. Some are requesting a non-academic form of quality assurance or verification from the University for their CPD activities.
This has led to the development of the University’s QCPD.
What we look for
To gain this accreditation you will need to meet a set of requirements focused on your planning, design, delivery, and evaluation of your CPD
The support we provide
- Initial Needs Assessment: following your online enquiry we will contact you to discuss the QCPD and how it might meet your needs. We will consider, together, whether this product is right for you and feasible for us to deliver, particularly in relation to the subject area.
- CPD Toolkit: When we progress to the evaluation stage we will send you a CPD Toolkit to support you.
- Feedback on your application: We will support you in the application process by providing detailed and constructive feedback that will help you develop your CPD.
- Guidance: In some cases, where the CPD has needed considerable improvement, customers have requested additional support and guidance, which can be arranged according to need.
We were keen to gain accreditation, to evidence the quality and credibility of the course. The accreditation team were so easy to work with. They were able to guide me through the process at every stage and I found the process to be a great learning experience that also led to some improvements in our CPD.

We applied for QCPD mark to help us provide the best quality training we can, the University of Salford team were really supportive throughout the process and shared some excellent resources and valuable insights to help us along the way. Having the QCPD mark provides reassurance to the our organisation that the training meets a high standard and adds value, as well as providing a useful addition for our clinical colleagues to include in revalidation portfolios.
