Become an Approved Delivery Centre
Individual programmes can be submitted for IoPD Approved status at any time. Approved Delivery Centre status offers something broader: recognition of your organisation as a whole, and a more efficient route for providers certifying across a portfolio of programmes.
Awarded to the organisation rather than a single course, Approved Delivery Centre status confirms that your provider has been independently reviewed against the Institute’s quality framework and recognised as an approved centre. It is a standing your organisation holds and represents across its provision – a mark of institutional quality that extends beyond any individual certified programme.
For providers certifying multiple programmes, it is also the more effective route. Bringing your certifications together under a single annual partnership reduces the cost per programme as your certified portfolio grows, while ensuring consistent recognition across everything you deliver.
Approved Delivery Centre status is designed for providers seeking organisation-wide recognition and a sustainable framework for certifying at scale, a lasting mark of quality that reflects the standard of your organisation, not simply its programmes.
