The CPD Group has launched a new podcast accreditation service providing recognition for quality educational content in podcasts.
This new service is said to be the first dedicated podcast accreditation of its kind.
With CPD accredited podcasts listeners will be able to earn trackable CPD minutes from each episode.
Podcasters will also be able to offer accredited CPD certificates to listeners so they can provide evidence of their professional development. These certificates can be used to enhance CVs and share achievements with employers, regulators or professional bodies.
Once accredited, podcasters will receive a unique verification number to read out in their podcasts. Listeners can use this code to download their accredited certificates. They can be fully customised to the branding of the podcast using The CPD Group’s certificate builder.
By accrediting podcasts with The CPD Group, podcasters can gain access to valuable data on which listeners are engaging with the unique verification number. It is also serves as a marketing tool as listeners are able to identify the quality of the educational content as it has been assessed by a third party.
To get accreditation, podcasters need to become Approved CPD Providers. This is a free service that accredits companies to ensure they have all the processes in place to deliver great CPD. Once accredited as a CPD Provider, a podcast accreditation plan can be chosen.
You can find out more about becoming a CPD Provider on The CPD Group website.
