Higher volumes, LMS integration or bespoke terms
Enterprise pricing covers larger certificate volumes, integration with your LMS and arrangements that do not fit a standard package. Tell us what you run and we will price it.
Why the pricing works, whatever your size
Traditional CPD providers charge upfront for each course. Open CPD is built to grow with you, because training providers come in all shapes and sizes — from individual facilitators to large organisations, and from local charities to international networks.
Start small, issue a handful of certificates, and scale up only when you are ready. No approval delays, no extra cost for creating new courses, and no pressure to commit to volumes you do not need.
Whether you run one course or a hundred, you get secure, verifiable certificates your learners can trust — and share proudly.
Everything else you might ask
The small print: general terms and conditions
Your platform access is valid for 12 months after the expiry of your subscription. Within this time you can access and download your certificates as often as you need to. At the end of the 12 months, you can maintain access even if you do not want to create more certificates. You can simply purchase a platform-only pass which allows continued access but does not include the creation of new certificates. The cost of this currently is £30 per annum.
If you have been given a discount code/coupon, you cannot combine it with the Free Trial offer. To apply your coupon code, please scroll down this page to the payment page where coupons are accepted.
Details of the certified providers remain searchable on the platform indefinitely. Due to their environmental impact, it is not envisaged that web3 maintenance of certificates will be required after a period of time (currently 36 months), at which point the web3 components will be optimised for storage or removed altogether. Since CPD is an annual activity, this should have no impact, but we are able to maintain web3 certificates for any length of time, subject to cost. Please get in touch if you require further information.
