At CPD IQ, we provide a transparent and structured membership system to accommodate the diverse needs of our members while ensuring consistent access to our high-quality services. Below, we outline the details of our membership fees and related policies to help you understand our process and ensure clarity regarding your obligations and benefits.

 

Payment of Membership Fees

 

Initial Membership Fee

 

  • The membership fee, including applicable VAT or similar tax, must be paid in advance.
  • Upon acceptance of your membership application, you will receive an invoice for the initial membership fee, with full settlement due within 30 days of the invoice date.
  • Access to CPD IQ services, systems, and certification processes will only commence once the initial membership fee has been paid in full.

International Members

 

  • Members based outside the United Kingdom are required to pay the membership fee in advance, in full, and in cleared funds before any services can begin.

Renewal of Membership

 

  • Renewal fees will be invoiced in advance of the applicable renewal date.
  • If any changes are proposed to the membership fee or the services provided, we will notify you in writing at least two months before your renewal date.
  • Renewal fees must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date to maintain uninterrupted access to our services.

Failure to Pay

 

If a membership fee, including renewal fees, is not paid on the due date:

  1. Service Suspension:
    • Access to our services, including the Members Portal, will be suspended until full payment is made.
    • Members must refrain from using CPD IQ trademarks or promoting previously certified materials as CPD certified during this period.
  2. Late Payment Charges:
    • Interest will be charged on overdue amounts in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, or at 5% above the base lending rate of the Bank of England if the Act does not apply.

Membership Categories

 

We offer multiple membership categories to cater to different professional needs. Each category includes:

  • A specific maximum number of CPD material submissions for certification during the membership period.
  • Differentiated fees depending on the category selected.

Upgrading Membership

 

Members may upgrade their membership category during the term by paying an additional fee for the enhanced services.

 

Certifications and Renewals

 

  • Changing membership categories at renewal may affect the certifications carried forward.
  • If the new category allows fewer certifications, we may ask you to select materials to decertify from prior renewal periods.
