🏅 Spectrum Professional Development Ltd Achieves CPD Accreditation

We're proud to share that Spectrum Professional Development Ltd, the company behind The Thriving Today Academy, has officially been awarded CPD accreditation status by the CPD Standards Office.

Not only has our organisation achieved this recognition, but our first full module—“Dealing with Stress and Pressure”—has also received full CPD accreditation. This is a proud milestone, reflecting our commitment to delivering high-quality, relevant, and transformative learning experiences for today’s leaders and managers.

We are now in the process of submitting the remaining modules in our Wellbeing theme for accreditation, with the aim of having all approved by the launch of the Open Academy on 1st September 2025.

Why Does CPD Accreditation Matter?

In a fast-changing world of work, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) has become a critical tool for career resilience, leadership effectiveness, and organisational agility.

According to the 2023–2024 CPD Research Project published by the CPD Standards Office, 90% of professionals surveyed said CPD had played a crucial role in their career advancement. Yet, concerns remain around quality, relevance, and accessibility. That’s exactly the gap our Academy is built to bridge.

Our approach at Thriving Today is shaped by what CPD now demands:

• Bite-sized, flexible content to support learning amid busy schedules.
• Facilitator-led sessions to ensure meaningful dialogue and reflection.
• Immediate workplace application to embed learning, not just tick boxes.

As the CPD Standards Office emphasises, modern CPD must be:

“Systematic, collaborative, innovative, reflective, and digital.”

We’re proud that our design aligns with all five dimensions.

What This Means for Leaders and Managers

Professional development is no longer a luxury. It’s a strategic necessity. Leaders must:

• Stay current with emerging skills and wellbeing practices.
• Model growth mindsets for their teams.
• Invest in themselves to remain resilient under pressure.

At a time when the cost-of-living crisis is limiting people’s access to high-quality training, we’re committed to making CPD accessible, relevant, and worth the investment—for individuals, teams, and whole organisations.

What’s Next?

🎉 From 1st September 2025, the Open Academy will be fully live—giving professionals access to our full suite of CPD-accredited, workplace-ready learning modules.

💡 Want to experience it for yourself? Our ‘Getting Started’ theme is already available for free for 90 days—no payment, no obligation.

Final Thoughts

Becoming CPD-accredited is more than a stamp of approval. It’s a signal to our community that we’re serious about standards—and serious about supporting those who lead others.

If you're an HR leader, L&D specialist, business owner, or self-funded professional looking for CPD that works, we’d love to show you what makes Thriving Today different.

Let’s make CPD something we choose, not something we have to do.
