Irish-based and Irish-focused
CPD Ireland is operated from Dublin and built around providers operating in the Irish market, while maintaining independent accreditation standards.
Already CPD accredited elsewhere?
Switch to CPD Ireland without starting from scratch.
If your courses are already accredited by another CPD service, we can review the evidence you already have, map it against the CPD Ireland Course Accreditation Standard, and tell you what — if anything — needs to be added or updated.
Existing evidence reused where suitable

A switching assessment
Use what you already have
Moving accreditation provider should not mean rebuilding a complete course pack purely for administrative reasons. Start by showing us your current accreditation documentation and the course evidence you already maintain.
- Existing course outlines, learning outcomes and materials can be used as evidence where they remain current and relevant
- We map that evidence against the published CPD Ireland Course Accreditation Standard
- We identify any missing, outdated or additional evidence needed for a CPD Ireland review
- You keep a clear record of what was assessed and the outcome for each course
What switching does not mean
Accreditation does not transfer automatically. CPD Ireland makes its own independent decision against its own published Standard.
Holding accreditation elsewhere can make the evidence-gathering stage easier, but it does not guarantee CPD Ireland accreditation.
This protects the integrity of the CPD Ireland mark while avoiding unnecessary duplication for providers with well-maintained course evidence.
Why providers may switch
An Irish accreditation service with a modern provider-to-learner workflow
The decision is not only about the accreditation badge. It is also about how easy the service is to understand, manage and evidence after accreditation.
Published annual pricing
Our annual plans and included course volumes are published openly, so you can understand the commercial model before speaking to us.
Accredit → Issue → Verify → Record
Manage accredited courses in the Provider Portal, issue learner certificates, provide online verification and connect eligible verified records into MyCPD.
Public evidence
Accreditation status and approved course records can be checked through the CPD Register, with public provider profiles for published providers.
A practical transition
How switching works
01
Show us your current setup
Tell us who currently accredits your training, which courses are covered, when renewal falls due and what evidence you already maintain.
02
We map the evidence
We compare your existing course documentation with the CPD Ireland Standard and explain any gaps before a formal accreditation decision.
03
Complete the CPD Ireland review
Each course still receives an independent CPD Ireland assessment. Once accredited, the course moves into the normal CPD Ireland provider workflow.
Approaching renewal?
That is usually the cleanest time to compare providers. We can discuss your current renewal timetable so you can plan the review without assuming accreditation has transferred before a CPD Ireland decision is made.
Compare carefully
Already with a UK accreditation service?
Our comparison guides use publicly available information from each organisation's own website. We include their strengths as well as the differences that may matter to an Irish training provider.
