If training is accredited, it has gone through a series of quality checks. This involves both checking the quality of the course in terms of structure, grammar and presentation, and also ensuring the training is beneficial and fulfils its purpose. Accreditation is essentially a stamp of approval by an external, unbiased third-party.

Although not mandatory, accreditation ensures that the training you are delivering is high quality, that it benefits the trainees and that the curriculum is correct and up-to-date. Accreditation provides trainers and trainees alike with the assurance that the course being delivered is worth their while, and impactful to them.
