MSS - The HR People Achieves CPD Accreditation: What It Means for You At MSS - The HR People, we’re proud to announce that we have been officially accredited to deliver CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training. This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, practical, and professionally relevant training to businesses across Ireland. But what exactly does CPD accreditation mean? Why is it significant? And, most importantly, how does it benefit the clients and professionals who choose MSS for their HR training? What Is CPD and Why Does It Matter? Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge, and experience gained both formally and informally as professionals work, beyond any initial training. CPD is essential in every sector but especially in fields like HR, where employment law, workplace regulations, and people management practices are constantly evolving. CPD-accredited training is independently assessed and verified to ensure that it meets industry standards for learning outcomes, relevance, structure, and delivery. Accreditation confirms that the training is not just informative, but valuable, impactful, and capable of contributing meaningfully to a participant’s professional development. In short, CPD accreditation is a mark of quality - and we’re delighted to now carry it. What CPD Accreditation Means for Us Becoming a CPD-accredited provider is a significant validation of our work. It’s more than a badge or certificate - it’s recognition from an external body that our training: Delivers clear learning outcomes Meets the expectations of professional development standards Is structured, well-presented, and aligned with current best practices Is designed with real-world application in mind For our team, this accreditation reinforces the integrity of our training content and confirms that the learning we provide is of the same high standard expected by national and international professional organisations. It also shows that we take our role as HR educators seriously. Whether we’re delivering workshops on employment law compliance, HR policies, or best-practice recruitment and onboarding, we are doing so in a way that stands up to scrutiny, offers measurable learning outcomes, and contributes to the continuous upskilling of our clients. What It Means for Our Clients and Training Participants CPD accreditation matters because it gives our clients confidence - not just in what we teach, but in how we teach it. Whether you're an SME owner trying to stay compliant, a people manager learning how to lead teams effectively, or an HR professional seeking to grow your knowledge base, attending a CPD-accredited session with MSS brings many advantages: 1. Assurance of Quality With CPD accreditation, clients know that our training is rigorously vetted. You’re not just taking our word for it - an independent body has confirmed that the training you’re investing in meets a high standard of professional learning. 2. Tangible Professional Development For individuals building their careers or maintaining professional memberships, CPD points or hours gained through our training can be recorded as part of formal CPD logs. This is especially relevant for HR professionals, business owners, and line managers who must show ongoing learning as part of their industry obligations. 3. Enhanced Employer Credibility Businesses that invest in CPD-accredited training show their teams and stakeholders that they care about learning, improvement, and staying up to date. It’s a positive reflection on company culture and helps improve employee engagement and retention. 4. Peace of Mind Around Compliance From Inclusive Leadership, Dignity at Work and Managing Difficult Behaviours, our accredited training ensures that you and your team are not only aware of your responsibilities but are applying them correctly. That means fewer risks, fewer mistakes, and a more confident leadership approach across your organisation. 5. Career Progression for Attendees Participants who undertake CPD-accredited training can use it to build their professional profile, apply for promotions, or demonstrate ongoing learning to regulatory or membership bodies. It helps turn learning into career momentum. A Mark of Trust for the Future At MSS - The HR People, we’ve always believed that training should be more than a tick-box exercise.
