We are absolutely thrilled to announce that DriveSmart Solutions has been officially approved as a recognised CPD Provider by The CPD Group — one of the UK’s leading continuing professional development accreditation organisations.
Our provider number is #789961 and you can verify our accreditation directly on The CPD Register at: thecpdregister.com/providers/cpd-group-providers–789961
This is a landmark moment for DriveSmart Solutions — and we want to explain exactly why it matters for you and your fleet.
What Is CPD Accreditation?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It refers to the ongoing process by which professionals maintain, develop and document their skills, knowledge and competence throughout their careers.
When a training provider holds CPD accreditation, it means their courses and programmes have been assessed and recognised as meeting nationally accepted standards of quality, structure and professional relevance.
In simple terms — it means the training you receive from DriveSmart Solutions isn’t just good. It’s officially recognised.
What Does This Mean For Your Business?
For fleet managers, operations managers and business owners, this accreditation changes things significantly. When your drivers complete training with DriveSmart Solutions, that training now carries formal CPD recognition. That means:
- Your drivers receive CPD-recognised training that counts towards their professional development record
- Your business holds documented evidence of professionally accredited driver training — not just an internal record
- In the event of an HSE investigation, insurance claim or legal challenge, you can demonstrate that your fleet training was delivered by an approved CPD provider
- Your drivers are trained to a standard recognised across industry — adding genuine credibility to your fleet safety programme
- It reinforces your duty of care obligations with an independently verified training record
This is no longer just about ticking a box. This is about being able to prove, with independent third-party verification, that your fleet safety training meets recognised professional standards.
Why We Pursued CPD Accreditation
At DriveSmart Solutions, we have always believed that driver training should be held to the highest possible standard. Our clients trust us with something enormously important — the safety of their drivers, their businesses and every other road user their fleet encounters.
That responsibility deserves more than good intentions. It deserves structure, accountability and independent verification.
CPD accreditation through The CPD Group gives our clients exactly that. It is external, independent confirmation that DriveSmart Solutions operates to a nationally recognised professional standard.
“We didn’t pursue this accreditation for the certificate. We pursued it because our clients deserve to work with a training provider they can trust completely — and now they have the independent evidence to back that up.”
— Rhys Hills, Founder — DriveSmart Solutions
