CLO100 awarded Approved Delivery Centre status by the Institute of Professional Development
Independent assessment recognises CLO100’s trainer expertise, quality assurance and commitment to professional standards in learning leadership development.
CLO100 has been awarded Approved Delivery Centre status by the Institute of Professional Development (IPD), recognising its ability to deliver professional learning in accordance with the Institute’s standards and quality requirements.
The approval follows a review of CLO100’s organisational capabilities, training provision, trainer expertise, quality assurance and alignment with IPD’s Professional Competencies. CLO100 met every assessment criterion.
For learning leaders choosing their own development, and employers investing in their L&D teams, the recognition provides independent assurance of the organisation and quality processes behind CLO100’s provision.
Recognition of expertise and quality
The assessment identified three particular strengths:
- CLO100’s experienced trainers and commitment to professional standards
- Its structured quality-assurance framework
- Its alignment with the IPD Competency Framework.
The review examined arrangements across the learner journey, including programme delivery, learner progress, assessment, tutor oversight and continuous improvement. It also recognised CLO100’s focus on inclusive and accessible learning, evidence-based practice, practical application and measurable workplace impact.
"CLO100 supports learning professionals in developing the strategic leadership, commercial understanding and executive influence needed to connect learning with organisational priorities. Its approach combines structured development, expert-led learning, coaching and peer exchange."
Supporting confidence in professional development
Professor Ruth Ashforfd, Institute Chair and Director said:
“We are delighted to welcome CLO100 as an Approved Delivery Centre. Their experienced facilitators and structured quality-assurance framework demonstrate a strong commitment to professional standards.
“What stood out was their focus on making learning inclusive, accessible and relevant to the workplace. Their approach connects professional development with practical application and meaningful organisational impact.
“We look forward to working with CLO100 to support learning leaders in their development and strengthen confidence in the quality of professional learning.”
Cathy Hoy, CEO and Co-Founder of CLO100, said:
“Learning leaders invest significant time and energy in developing others. They deserve the same confidence in their own development.
“This recognition reinforces our commitment to helping participants apply what they learn, lead with greater confidence and make a meaningful contribution to their organisations.”
The approval marks a further step in CLO100’s development as a professional home for learning leaders, reinforcing its commitment to relevant, rigorous and practically focused professional development.
Approved Delivery Centre status is subject to annual review and renewal, with ongoing requirements to maintain quality assurance and comply with IPD standards.
