We offer certificates for all our courses, including the online courses that we include to enable you to consolidate your learning.
Most CPD is now self-certified (e.g. accountancy, law etc) so we don’t offer CPD “points” for particular organisations. However, our courses would certainly meet most organisations’ CPD requirements.
