Who becomes an Ambassador?
Open CPD Ambassadors are people who
You don’t need to offer training or CPD yourself. Many of our Ambassadors simply know others who do — in roles across coaching, education, professional services, membership bodies, events, or internal teams. They recognise that learning happens everywhere and want to help others make it count.
Some Ambassadors refer us because of the rewards. Most do it because they genuinely believe in making CPD simple, credible, and accessible.
- Value innovation and simplicity
- Believe in recognising learning
- Enjoy sharing good ideas with others
- Know that training is everywhere
See Open CPD in Action
The Open CPD Ambassadors Programme is designed for people who naturally connect others with useful tools, ideas, and services. It offers a simple referral and partnership route for those who work with, support, or regularly speak to training providers, course creators, professional organisations, and learning teams. You do not need to deliver training yourself to take part. Many ambassadors simply recognise that learning happens everywhere and believe that it deserves to be acknowledged properly.
As a CPD referral partner, you are helping organisations move away from complex, expensive, or outdated accreditation routes. Open CPD provides a flexible way for training providers to issue CPD certificates and digital badges that reflect real learning activity. By introducing Open CPD to the right people, you are enabling them to recognise learning outcomes, add credibility to their courses, and present their training more professionally to clients, employers, and stakeholders.
The CPD ambassador and referral programme is intentionally lightweight. There are no sales targets, no quotas, and no expectation that you provide support or onboarding. Once a referral signs up, Open CPD handles the platform access, guidance, and ongoing customer support. In return, ambassadors can choose a reward structure that suits them, either earning a cash referral reward or receiving ongoing Open CPD account credit that can be used to issue certificates and badges themselves.
This referral partnership model works well for consultants, coaches, speakers, association partners, advisors, and anyone with a broad professional network. It also suits people who value innovation, simplicity, and practical solutions. Above all, the Open CPD referral programme exists to make it easier for good training to be recognised, shared, and taken seriously, without unnecessary barriers.
