Accreditation FAQs
What is Core Compliant?
Core Compliant is an independent accreditation and verification body. It accredits the programmes and credentials produced on CPDForge and operates the public verification register. It is distinct from CPDForge (the platform) and CPFPSI (the quality framework).
How is this different from CPFPSI?
CPFPSI governs quality — grounding, the 14-criterion QA rubric and SME sign-off. Core Compliant independently accredits the result and verifies issued credentials. Governance and accreditation are deliberately separate roles.
Is a Core Compliant Accredited credential recognised by regulators?
No. It is a professional / CPD credential backed by independent accreditation and public verification. It does not denote statutory, government or regulatory recognition, and does not replace any legally mandated certification.
How can a credential be checked?
Every credential has a public verification page and QR code. Anyone can confirm the holder, programme, issue date, status and accreditation without an account. See "How verification works".
