Are New Skills Academy Qualifications Recognised?
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.Learn with confidence...

Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years! Videos that accompany each module are carefully thought out and informative. Am so impressed with this course, have now signed up for 3 other courses and recommending New Skills Academy to everyone!

This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)

Also each module consists of quick test and assignment which enables you to gain knowledge. Finally I would like to thank the New Skills Academy team.

This course is a great way to brush up on my rusty excel skills, I recommend this course to anyone looking for something to do during lockdown, it's easy to use and talks you through each stage step by step. It has given me the confidence I need to further my career.

I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course

It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.
