All GLI certifications carry internationally recognised CPD points — accepted by professional bodies across Africa, UK, USA and globally.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the structured learning activities professionals undertake to maintain, improve and broaden their skills and knowledge beyond their initial qualification. Most professional bodies worldwide require members to complete a minimum number of CPD hours or points annually to maintain their professional standing.
All GLI certification programmes are designed and assessed as structured CPD activities, carrying between 20–40 CPD points per programme depending on the level and depth.
Upon successful completion, GLI issues a CPD Certificate alongside the professional certification, documenting the CPD points earned for submission to your professional body.
