Membership Terms & Conditions
The terms that govern accreditation with CPD Europe. Version 1.0 — November 2026.
1. Parties and Agreement
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the accreditation relationship between CPD Europe (a programme of Accréditation Sans Frontières, “ASF”) and the applying organisation (“Provider”). Submission of an accreditation application constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
2. Accreditation Scope
Accreditation is granted for the specific programme(s) and activity types named in the accreditation certificate. CPD Europe accredits all major formats of continuing professional development, including online courses, conferences and congresses, seminars and workshops, webinars and live-stream events, journal-based CPD, and podcasts with educational objectives. It does not extend to programmes, activities, or organisational functions not covered in the certificate unless separately approved. The Provider may not represent general organisational endorsement from CPD Europe.
Providers wishing to extend accreditation to additional activity formats (e.g. adding a conference to an existing online-course accreditation) may request a scope extension by notifying CPD Europe in writing. The extension review is conducted within 15 business days at no additional fee.
Accreditation is non-transferable. A change of provider ownership, legal name, or governing body must be notified to CPD Europe within 30 days. Failure to notify may result in suspension.
3. Use of the CPD Europe Mark
The CPD Europe Accredited badge (“the Mark”) may be used by the Provider solely in connection with the accredited programme(s), strictly in accordance with the Brand Use Guidelines published at /cpd-europe/cpd-mark/. The Mark may not be altered, combined with other marks without permission, or applied to non-accredited activities.
The licence to use the Mark is a limited, non-exclusive, revocable licence. It terminates automatically on expiry, suspension, or withdrawal of accreditation. On termination, the Provider must immediately remove the Mark from all materials.
4. Provider Obligations
5. Fees and Payment
The annual subscription fee is payable in advance. Fees are set out in the CPD Europe Fee Schedule, which may be revised with 90 days’ notice to current providers. Failure to pay within 30 days of the invoice date will result in automatic suspension of accreditation.
Fees are non-refundable except where CPD Europe fails to meet its Customer Guarantee obligations and a refund is specified as the remedy.
6. Suspension and Withdrawal
CPD Europe may suspend or withdraw accreditation on reasonable grounds, including: material breach of these Terms, substantiated complaint from a learner or regulator, failure to submit annual declarations or fees, or circumstances bringing the accredited programme into serious disrepute.
The Provider will be notified in writing of any proposed suspension or withdrawal and will have 15 business days to respond before a final decision is made, except in cases of serious immediate risk where suspension may be immediate.
7. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by French law. Disputes that cannot be resolved through CPD Europe’s complaints procedure shall be referred to the courts of Paris, France.

8. Scope — Business-to-Business Services
CPD Europe accreditation services are provided exclusively to organisations acting in a professional or commercial capacity — including registered companies, associations, foundations, academic institutions, and registered individual practitioners. These Terms constitute a business-to-business agreement. The statutory right of withdrawal applicable to consumer contracts under French law (Code de la consommation, Article L.221-18) and EU Directive 2011/83/EU does not apply to this agreement. If you are applying as a natural person not acting in a professional capacity, please contact us at info@accreditation.ge before submitting your application.
