We have been asking our members from across the industries the reasons why they became a CPD provider. This CPD Member case study was provided by CFE Certification. For more information, please visit their CPD Member Directory page.
Please provide us with a brief overview of your organisation. What do you do?
CFECERT (CFE Certification Limited) is a UK-based certification, audit, and training organisation specialising in compliance and risk management. Accredited by UKAS, IAS, and TURKAK, CFECERT operates in over 25 countries serving industries such as fintech, banking, insurance, and technology. The organisation offers third-party certification for ISO standards including ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 22301, and ISO 9001, alongside compliance assessments and GAP analyses. Its training materials are CPD-accredited and cover awareness, implementation, internal audit, and lead auditor levels for professionals seeking certification in these areas.
Why did you become a CPD provider?
CFECERT became a CPD (Continuing Professional Development) provider to meet the growing demand for structured, accredited training in compliance, risk management, and information security. As global regulations and ISO standards evolve rapidly, professionals in industries like FinTech, banking, and tech need up-to-date, credible qualifications to stay compliant and competitive. By offering CPD-accredited courses, CFECERT ensures that its training programs are formally recognised, structured for professional growth, and meet the standards expected by employers and regulators. It also enhances CFECERT’s credibility as a full-service provider—supporting organisations not just with certification audits but also with high-quality education for their staff. This alignment of training + certification + compliance support makes CFECERT a more comprehensive partner for clients managing complex governance and regulatory obligations.
How did you implement CPD accreditation in your organisation?
CFECERT implemented CPD accreditation by developing structured, outcome-based training courses aligned with international standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR, and PIMS. We submitted detailed documentation; including course content, trainer credentials, and assessment methods, to The CPD Certification Service for approval. Internal quality controls, regular updates, and participant feedback ensure our programs remain compliant and relevant. This accreditation strengthens our training offering and supports professionals in meeting ongoing compliance and development needs.
How has CPD helped your organisation achieve its learning objectives?
CPD accreditation has helped CFECERT enhance the quality, credibility, and consistency of its training programs, ensuring they meet professional learning standards. It has enabled us to deliver structured, recognised courses that support clients in building internal expertise in compliance, information security, and risk management. CPD has also strengthened client trust, expanded our training reach globally, and aligned our learning objectives with ongoing regulatory and industry requirements, ultimately positioning CFECERT as a trusted partner in both certification and professional development.
