All courses are developed in line with the A.C.C.R.E.D.I.T.E.D. Framework, a structured assessment model established by The CPD Group to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance with recognised CPD standards.
The Sustainability Reporting Institute is also listed as an approved CPD provider on The CPD Register.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about CPD accreditation and CPD hours for our sustainability reporting courses.
How many CPD hours will I earn from a course?
CPD hours vary by course and are stated on each course page. All hours are included on your certificate upon completion, so you can track and report them easily.
Can I earn CPD credits for free?
Yes. Our free Introductory Access includes CPD-accredited courses, so you can earn recognised CPD hours.
Is your CPD accreditation recognised by my professional body?
Our courses are accredited by The CPD Group and relevant for professionals affiliated with bodies including ACCA, CIMA, the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the Chartered Governance Institute (CGI), CISI, and IEMA. CPD requirements vary by organisation, so we recommend confirming with your specific body.
Which sustainability reporting standards does your CPD training cover?
Our CPD-accredited courses cover the CSRD/ESRS, the ISSB Standards (IFRS S1 & S2), and the VSME Standard, along with related topics such as the GHG Protocol.
What is the difference between CPD points and a CPD certificate?
CPD points (or hours) measure the time spent on accredited learning, while a CPD certificate is the formal record confirming you completed that learning. Our courses provide both, with CPD hours included directly on your certificate.
Does completing one course cover all my annual CPD requirements?
This depends on your professional body's specific requirements. Our courses provide CPD hours that can contribute toward your annual total, alongside any other required activities.
