Modular Certificates for Smarter CPD Management

 

Issuing certificates per CPD module offers students flexibility to manage annual CPD requirements, adjust workloads, and track progress. It simplifies compliance documentation, supports audit readiness, and boosts motivation through milestone recognition. Modular certificates also enhance career portability, allowing professionals to showcase targeted skills.

This format aligns with global best practices, encourages spaced learning, and protects against record loss, making it a more convenient and strategic choice for learners.

After completing each module, please send us a request to receive your certificate.

If you've completed more than one module at the same time, simply list all the module numbers you'd like certificates for. We'll issue separate certificates for each and send them all to you together.
