CPD & CPT FRAMEWORK
Useful learning. Defensible evidence. Precise claims.
Mandate One is designed to support professional-development programmes while keeping accreditation, eligibility and employer responsibility clear by jurisdiction.
Current status
Mandate One’s launch curriculum is proposed professional learning. No course is represented as regulator-approved or formally accredited unless its individual page expressly confirms that status.
THE EVIDENCE STANDARD
More than a timer and a certificate.
Digital learning should demonstrate relevance, active participation, assessment and duration. Mandate One course specifications therefore include objectives, structured modules, an independent knowledge check, a completion threshold and a dated record.
01
Defined learning objectives
Clear statements of the capability each course is intended to develop.
02
Assessed completion
Knowledge checks or applied scenarios, with the result retained.
03
Duration evidence
Estimated learning time and completion data appropriate to the delivery model.
04
Audit-ready record
Learner, course, date, duration, score, version and certificate identifier.

Official IBF information ↗Assessed online learning
The SFC states that relevant online courses can count as self-study where independent assessments and sufficient evidence of fulfilment and duration are retained.

Learner and employer responsibility
Requirements differ by role, licence, jurisdiction, professional membership and employer policy. Learners and sponsoring organisations remain responsible for determining whether a particular activity is relevant and acceptable, for satisfying prescribed topic requirements and for retaining records for the required period.
