Accreditation
Online Training Courses – Leading UK E-Learning Providers – CPDUK Accredited E-Learning Courses.
LearnPac Systems is the leading UK provider of accredited online training courses, programmes and qualifications that are approved by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
CPD Certification Service – Corporate Accreditation
LearnPac Systems has partnered with The Mandatory Training Group to become the leading UK provider of CPD certified e-learning courses, programmes and qualifications. The benefits of using our CPDUK accredited online courses and programmes include:
All our e-Learning courses and training programmes are externally peer-reviewed and approved by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
These courses comply with the universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines.
Our CPD certificates are recognised internationally and can be used to provide evidence for compliance and audit.
Click the questions below to reveal more information about the benefits of CPD accreditation.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation benefits both employees and employers. The main advantages are as follows:
Keeping employee skills up-to-date.
Maintaining professional standards.
Building employee confidence.
Enhancing career advancement.
Improving job satisfaction.
Maintaining high standards across the organisation.
Meeting regulatory and legislative requirements.
Improving employee commitment to their jobs.
Sharing best practice across the organisation.
For employees, CPD helps to keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date. It also contributes to maintaining the professional standard of their qualifications, registrations and sense of direction. Moreover, completing CPD helps employees to build their confidence and credibility. It empowers them to showcase their achievements and provides them with tools to cope with change positively. In most sectors, CPD is beneficial for employees’ career progression and advancement. Many studies have found that evidence of CPD improves career prospects, such as promotions or specialism. In real terms, this means that CPD contributes to achieving job satisfaction and higher salaries.
For employers, the main advantage of CPD is the security of sustaining high standards across the whole organisation. CPD can help ensure consistent standards to meet regulatory and statutory requirements. It also improves employees’ commitment to their job roles and promotes greater work engagement from the workforce. Organisations that provide CPD, whether concurrently or over some time, allows for the sharing of best practice and support. Also, it contributes to maximising staff potential, improving staff morale and providing a useful benchmark for annual appraisals.
In partnership with The Mandatory Training Group, we offer internationally recognised (Ofqual and the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills of the Welsh Government approved) vocational qualifications in the following subjects:
Education and training
Health and social care
First aid for all sectors
Health, safety and compliance
Business administration and management
Retail and customer service
Hospitality and catering
Childcare and children’s services
Computing and information technology
Employment skills
Public services
Building industry and construction.
As a recognised training centre for Ofqual and the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills approved qualifications, all of our programmes are peer-reviewed and guaranteed to conform to high international standards.
We take steps to ensure that learners who are undertaking our qualifications are given the best support and service.
All our qualifications are developed by industry experts, and are user-friendly and accessible.
Our qualifications are formed with flexibility in mind. Thus, for a large number of programmes, we are able to adapt learning materials and assessment methods to best suit specific sectors in line with current UK legislation and guidance.
Organisations can use our learning materials and assessments as part of their blended learning strategies.
The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) is a non-ministerial government department (HM Government) that regulates qualifications, examinations and tests/assessments in England and, until May 2016, vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland. Colloquially and publicly, Ofqual is often referred to as the exam “watchdog”. Ofqual regulates all the awarding bodies in the UK.
The Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills is an established subdivision of the Welsh Government. It is responsible for education, training and children’s services in Wales under powers devolved from the Department for Children, Schools and Families of the UK government under Schedule 5 of the Government of Wales Act 2006. It is headed by the Minister for Education (Welsh Government).
All our statutory and mandatory training courses for health and social care are aligned to the UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF).
With a highly mobile workforce, health and social care employers often need to identify recruits’ previous statutory and mandatory training. Where the training information is lacking, some staff can repeat training unnecessarily, wasting time and money. The UK CSTF was launched in 2013 to address this issue. It allows health and social care employers to recognise statutory/mandatory training to a standard, trust that information and reduce duplication of training.
