When choosing an online course, learners need more than flexible study and an attractive course title. They need confidence that the course provider is serious about quality, professional development and learner value. Royal Open College is proud to be a member of CPD Professional Standards Institute (CPD PSI), with courses accredited in alignment with CPD PSI standards.
This supports our mission to provide trusted, career-focused online learning that helps learners build confidence, improve workplace knowledge and continue their professional development with greater assurance.
What Is CPD PSI?
CPD Professional Standards Institute, also known as CPD PSI, focuses on Continuing Professional Development accreditation. According to CPD PSI, it provides guidance, accreditation and recognition to organisations and trainers, helping ensure learning programmes meet CPD standards. CPD PSI states that it accredits different learning activities, including online courses, workshops, seminars, webinars and B2B training sessions.
For learners, this means CPD PSI is connected to the wider purpose of professional development: helping people continue learning, update their skills and stay confident in changing workplace environments.

CPD PSI Accreditation and Course Quality

Building Learner Trust Before Enrolment
Trust is one of the biggest factors in online education. Learners want to know that the provider behind the course is credible, visible and committed to quality.
Royal Open College’s CPD PSI membership and course accreditation help build that trust by showing learners that our courses are designed with professional development standards in mind. This gives learners more confidence before they enrol and more reassurance after they complete their training.

Learner value, training is designed to support practical knowledge, career development and professional growth.
