All 16 AIHR Certificate Programs Now Earn CPD Accreditation

Rotterdam, February 12, 2026 — AIHR (Academy to Innovate HR) has been accredited as a CPD provider by The CPD Certification Service (CPD UK). The accreditation means CIPD members, who are required to complete ongoing continuing professional development (CPD) to maintain their membership, can now formally count AIHR certificate programs toward that requirement. All 16 of AIHR’s Certificate Programs are covered.

For CIPD members who already learn with AIHR, or have been considering it, the accreditation removes a real barrier: they can now count that learning toward a requirement they already have to meet.

AIHR’s CPD accreditation benefits 165,000+ CIPD members worldwide, including large membership communities in the U.K., the Middle East, and Singapore. AIHR programs are already eligible for SHRM professional development credits (PDCs) and HRCI recertification. CPD accreditation now extends that recognition to members of another major HR professional body.

”HR professionals spend their careers developing everyone else. If we don’t deliberately prioritize our own upskilling, it won’t happen,” says Erik van Vulpen, Co-Founder and Dean of AIHR. “This accreditation makes that easier. CIPD members who learn with AIHR now get independent, accredited proof of their learning to record as part of their required ongoing professional development.”
