Getting CPD Accreditation
About the CPD Register
NIBA College’s CPD Register is for members and training providers across the industry. The CPD Register will provide members and training managers with an easy way to find solutions for their education and CPD needs. The register also provides a promotional benefit for many industry groups and commercial trainers. Until now training providers have had limited opportunity to promote their programs to brokers and the broader industry even though they have successfully obtained a NIBA CPD accreditation.
In order to be eligible for CPD Accreditation, training must fall into one of the categories of structured training outlined below.

How to apply for NIBA College CPD Accreditation
To apply for NIBA CPD Accreditation, you must lodge your program on the NIBA CPD register.
PLEASE NOTE: Applications must be completed by the training provider, not by attendees. The form can be lodged on the register up to 3 months after the session date, if it is a series, the application must be made within 3 months of the first session. After this time NIBA will not consider a session for accreditation.
Once your session has been accredited, you will receive notification via email with a link to your session on the register and a CPD Register Code.
