The website presents the organisation under the trading name National CPD Certification UK. The corresponding registered entity is NATIONAL CPD CERTIFICATION UK LTD, company number 16777162, a private limited company. The register records the company as Active, incorporated on 10 October 2025, with a registered office at 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. The recorded nature of business is SIC 85590 (other education not elsewhere classified) and SIC 94120 (activities of professional membership organisations).

First accounts are made up to 31 October 2026 and due by 10 July 2027, and the first confirmation statement is due by 23 October 2026. No accounts have been filed at the date of this review, so consistency of filings with the advertised activity is not assessable.

No connected businesses, group companies, or affiliate, referral or sponsorship arrangements are disclosed on the website on the pages reviewed. The register records one director, who also serves as company secretary, and one person with significant control, an individual holding 75% or more of the shares and voting rights with the right to appoint or remove directors, all recorded from the date of incorporation. Control is held by an individual, and no connected corporate entity, parent or group company is shown on the register entry. The sole officer's other appointments were not researched, in line with the rule against investigating individuals; that point is raised in the flags for human review.

Searches were carried out for published rulings or enforcement action against this organisation. A web search of Advertising Standards Authority rulings using the organisation name returned rulings against other CPD organisations but none against National CPD Certification UK or cpd-certification.uk. Web searches for an Information Commissioner's Office record, court judgments, Trading Standards action, and Competition and Markets Authority action returned nothing relating to this organisation. No published rulings or enforcement actions against this organisation were identified at the time of this review. These checks were conducted by web search; the ASA rulings database and the ICO register were not queried directly in this session, and a direct database search is recommended to confirm.
