The CPD Europe Accreditation Mark
The CPD Europe Mark signals that a programme has been independently assessed and meets the standards of the European healthcare CPD accreditation framework.
What the Mark Communicates
The CPD Europe Accreditation Mark is a trust signal — to learners, employers, and regulatory bodies — that a healthcare CPD programme has been independently reviewed and confirmed to meet defined standards. It tells four things at a glance:
The programme has been assessed by an independent panel — not self-certified or peer-approved within a commercial chain.
The curriculum, faculty, and assessment methods meet the CPD Europe Standards, aligned with WMA and UEMS EACCME frameworks.
The programme is listed in the CPD Europe public registry, allowing instant online verification by any third party.
The accreditation document specifies the credit allocation — a named number of CPD Europe Credits per activity.
What Activities the Mark Covers
The CPD Europe Accreditation Mark is not limited to online courses. It is issued for any structured healthcare CPD activity type, provided the provider’s application covers that format. Accredited formats include:
Annual and specialty events
Live in-person or virtual
Self-paced digital formats
Live-stream and hybrid
Publication-linked modules
Audio learning series
The mark must be used only in connection with the specific activity type(s) covered in the accreditation decision. If you later add a new format (e.g. a podcast series), contact your account manager to extend the accreditation scope.
Mark Usage Rules
Accredited providers receive a licence to use the CPD Europe Accreditation Mark for the duration of their accreditation term. The mark may be used:
The mark may not be used to imply accreditation of activities, products, or services beyond those covered by the accreditation decision, nor used in any context that could mislead as to the scope of accreditation.
The mark must be removed from all materials immediately upon expiry or withdrawal of accreditation. Continued use of the mark after accreditation has expired constitutes a breach of the Membership Terms and may result in legal action.

Independence notice: CPD Europe is an independent accreditation body operating under Accréditation Sans Frontières (Paris). References to international organisations (WMA, UEMS, WHO, UNESCO, ILO, EU institutions) indicate standards alignment only — they do not imply formal affiliation, partnership, or endorsement by those organisations. CPD Europe accreditation is distinct from and does not substitute for EACCME, UEMS, or national regulatory body recognition.
