What does CPD accreditation mean for our courses?
The CPD Certification Service is an independent organisation in the UK that certifies continuing professional development. A provider registers with it, and each course is assessed against its CPD standards before it is certified. Probity & Ethics is a registered provider under Provider No. 13197, and every course we offer, from Probity for Healthcare Professionals to the Modules on Insight, Reflection and Remediation, is CPD certified.
For you, this means three things:
- The CPD hours on your certificate come from an independently certified course, not from a figure we set ourselves.
- You can name the provider and its provider number in your CPD record, your appraisal or your written response to a concern.
- Anyone reading your evidence can check our accreditation with The CPD Certification Service.
What does your certificate show?
When you complete a course, your certificate is ready to download straight away. It records:
- your name;
- the course title;
- the CPD hours (2 CPD hours for each subject course);
- the date you completed the course;
- that the course is CPD certified by The CPD Certification Service.
Keep the certificate with a short written reflection: what you learned, what you now do differently and how you will keep the change in place. Every course now ends with an optional Reflection Template you can print or save as a PDF for this.
How can you check our CPD provider number?
- Go to our provider profile: check our listing on The CPD Certification Service website.
- Check the provider name, Probity and Ethics, and the provider number, 13197.
- Look through the list of our certified courses on the same profile. Each of our course pages also links to that course’s own page on The CPD Certification Service website.
Which situations does a CPD certified course help with?
A complaint or a fitness to practise investigation. When a concern has been raised with the GMC, NMC, GDC, GPhC, HCPC, GOC, GCC, GOsC or Social Work England, or with your employer, a course on the subject of the concern, a dated certificate and a reflection show what you have learned and the steps you have taken. This is remediation: you choose the course that matches the words of your letter, conditions or undertakings.
CPD, appraisal and revalidation. Each regulator sets its own CPD rules. Our CPD accredited courses give you a certificate with CPD hours and a subject you can link to your professional standards, ready for your CPD record or portfolio.
Our courses are certified by The CPD Certification Service. They are not registered, accredited or endorsed by any individual healthcare regulatory body.
