Dear Adam,

Further to our recent communications, we have now completed the CPD assessment of the training

course that you recently submitted to the CPD Standards Office. We are delighted to inform you that

the following course title has passed the CPD Standards Office assessment process, and has received a

formal CPD accreditation:

LINKED IN FOR BUSINESS

This accreditation means that your organisation, BIZ LINKS, is now an official Registered Provider with

the CPD Standards Office, and has received a dedicated kite-mark with a unique provider number –

21024 - for its own and specific use. Going forwards, any delegate who attends this course may be

issued with a CPD Certificate of Attendance, which they can subsequently use within their formal CPD

record for a professional body, institute or employer.

Along with this letter, you will receive the following documents and files. These are provided in soft

copy by email, should you wish to receive hard copies, please notify me accordingly:

Our CPD Best Practice Recommendations for your course.

o These best practice recommendations should be seriously considered by your

organisation, and where possible integrated into the course delivery.

A formal CPD Activity Log confirming the course has been independently CPD accredited by

the CPD Standards Office:

o This is for your organisation’s records and purely for internal use only.

Two soft copies of Biz Link’s dedicated CPD kite-mark to display on the courses’

communications:

o The kite-marks are provided as JPEG & PNG, and respectively, each can be used on

documents, or, online files such as website/s.

o Please see the attached fact-sheet ‘Use of the CPD Standards Office Kite-Marks’ for

guidance and instructions for how to use your kite-mark effectively and successfully.

A template of a CPD Certificate of Attendance & Learning Tool:

o This template has been designed for this specific CPD accredited course title, and may

not be used for any other course, event or activity.

o The attached templates are in draft format, where the red items should be customised

for your organisation accordingly i.e. you should complete the delegates name, the

date and ideally a named person organising, or who is responsible for, organising the

event.

o Hard or soft PDF copies of CPD certificates of attendance can be issued to any delegate

who has attended the course in full.

o The CPD Standards office recommends that a CPD attendance certificate is issued to a

delegate by request only. In addition, we recommend that it is linked to the completion

of the course’s feedback or evaluation forms i.e. delegates must complete a feedback

form and tick a box to receive a CPD attendance certificate.

Please note that all of the CPD Standards Office documentation and information are specific to BIZ LINKS

as an organisation. The sharing of this information, as well as any other documentation regarding the

accreditation from the CPD Standards Office, is strictly prohibited.

In all cases of discussion, particularly those with third party organisations or individuals please refer to the

CPD Standards Office for approval. These terms protect your intellectual property rights as a training

provider.

Do let us know if you have any queries regarding this CPD accreditation, and we wish you every success

with delivering your course as a formal CPD activity.
