General CPD and self-accreditation What is CPD self-accreditation, and how does it work? – CPD self-accreditation allows training providers to issue CPD-accredited certificates independently, without relying on third-party accreditation bodies. Open CPD's platform makes this process simple, giving you full control over course accreditation, certificate issuance, and compliance with CPD standards. You can create professional, tamper-proof certificates quickly and easily.
