hen you’re working on self-improvement or gaining new skills, it’s important to think about the sources you’re using. Nowadays, there are so many different places to get educated and learn about new things. However, it’s essential to be sure that you’re getting the right kind of information. Not only do you want to know that the information is correct, but you also want to ensure that your certification will be recognised. In the United Kingdom, this means looking for accreditation. Accreditation is a way for different course providers to prove that they really are giving you the best quality of education. You may be wondering if New Skills Academy is accredited - the answer is yes!

Accreditation

Each and every New Skills Academy course is recognised by an accreditation body called the CPD. The CPD is a reliable certification source in the United Kingdom, established in 1996 to govern continuing education and professional development. CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development, and the CPD Certification Service aims to give you the confidence in any course that you’re thinking of investing in. The CPD website says, “The CPD Certification Service provides support, advice and recognised independent CPD accreditation compatible with global CPD principles”.

How Does a Course Get Accredited?

New Skills Academy is recognised and accredited by the CPD Service in order to ensure that all of our courses follow the same guidelines and offer you the same quality of education. By working with the CPD, we ensure that every course is organised into formalised knowledge, as well as a structured and recognised approach. It’s not just a matter of yes or no - the CPD takes accreditation seriously and plays an active role in the courses that they certify.

How Will My Course Be Recognised?

When you complete a course, you have not only gained a New Skills Academy certificate, but also a CPD certified qualification. Since the CPD is recognised across the United Kingdom and even globally, this means that your hard work does not go unnoticed. CPD considers accredited courses “a proactive and conscious form of learning which uses various methods to help individuals either learn new skills or develop existing ones”. Not to mention, New Skills Academy courses have won their fair share of awards and even been recognised by major media outlets. When you complete your course, the qualification you gain can be verified and validated at any time via the New Skills Academy website.

Why Take a Certified Course?

In today’s fast-paced and ultra-competitive world of business, standing apart from the crowd is of the essence. Simply being qualified is not enough to ensure that you will get the chance to excel, develop and work in a job that you love. Nowadays, investing in your own education and working towards new goals is an easy way to show everyone around you that you are being proactive. Picking out something new to learn, expanding on something you already know or certifying some of your abilities, is a great way to create an impressive CV and feel confident in your skills.
