BMFTraining receives CPD Accreditation
THE BMF is gaining independent accreditation for its training courses through the globally recognised CPD Certification Service.
Three BMF courses have been CPD accredited to date with more due to follow later this year. Being accredited means that the learning activity has reached internationally-recognised Continuing Professional
Development standards and
benchmarks, and that the learning value of each course has been
scrutinised to ensure integrity and quality.
Anyone completing a BMF CPD accredited course will receive a formal CPD certificate of attendance stating the number of CPD hours attained. This
benefits not only the individual by providing evidence of professional development, but also maintains up-to-date training records and ensure that all staff are supported in developing skills throughout their careers.

Membership Services Director said, “The BMF’s training is a key benefit enjoyed by members and a logical step to ensure that specialist training courses are accredited as appropriate to national and international standards. CPD accreditation provides that assurance. We are now working on several other courses we offer to be independently assessed and accredited as soon as possible.”
