Is CPD Equivalent to NVQ Qualification?

CPD are not NVQ or Academic qualifications because of the differences in the learning style.

During CPD training/course, the learner can complete several training hours, completing various learning activities on the topic of their choice. But NVQ is a course with pre-determined content and modules that you can study. CPD is recognised as an accreditation; therefore, your accomplishments will be noticed by prospective employers or certify yourself.
