Setting the Standard for Excellence in Training
The Continuous Development and Personal Growth Institution (CDPG) was founded in 2021 with a bold vision: to establish a globally recognized benchmark for training accreditation. In an era where professional development is essential for success, CDPG ensures that training providers deliver high-quality, impactful, and standardized education that meets the demands of modern industries.
To accredit, elevate, and empower training providers by ensuring their programs meet international quality standards, fostering professional excellence and lifelong learning.
To become the most trusted accreditation body for professional training, ensuring that learning institutions and trainers worldwide uphold the highest educational and ethical standards.
CDPG was born out of a realization: while professional training is growing rapidly, there is a gap in quality assurance and global recognition. Many training providers struggle to gain credibility, and businesses often find it hard to identify truly effective programs.
To bridge this gap, a group of industry leaders, educators, and corporate training experts came together to form CDPG. With decades of combined experience in education, human resources, and corporate development, they built a rigorous accreditation framework that ensures training providers meet the highest standards.
