9 International Certifications

Recognition, stated plainly.

AccrediPro University holds nine international certifications — professional memberships and recognitions granted by independent bodies that have reviewed our programmes against their own standards. This page lists every one of them, what each means, and where the limits lie.

What It Means

Independent review, on the record.

Each certification on this page is a standing relationship with an independent professional body: the body reviews the University's curricula, assessment standards and graduate outcomes against its own published criteria, and renews that review on a fixed cycle. It is the difference between a certificate an institution prints for itself and one that a third party has examined.

These are professional memberships and recognitions — not government academic accreditation, and we do not present them as such. What each one is, and is not, is set out in the questions further down this page.

The Credential Register

Recognition you can check, not just read about.

Every credential the University confers is entered in a public register under a unique number. Employers, clients and institutions may verify any certificate directly — no account, no request to this office.

Standards Behind the Register

What the reviews review.

Quality Assurance
Curricula are reviewed on an annual cycle against published competency frameworks before renewal submissions are made.
Clinical Review
Every programme is approved by the standing Clinical Faculty Board — eight licensed clinicians in active practice.
Assessment Integrity
Examinations draw on randomised question banks, and results alone move a record — integrity findings are enforced without exception.
Credential Verification
Every certificate carries a unique credential number, entered in the University register and open to public verification.
Curriculum Currency
Content is evidence-based and updated annually by subject-matter reviewers drawn from active clinical practice.
Scope-of-Practice Guidance
Graduates receive country-specific scope-of-practice guidance, because what a credential permits differs by jurisdiction.

The clinical review itself is the work of the Clinical Faculty Board, whose members and remits are on the record.

Scope, Plainly

What these certifications are — and are not.

What do these certifications mean for my certificate?+

Each body on the register has independently reviewed the University's programmes against its own published standards. A certificate backed by that review carries institutional weight with employers, insurers and clients — and every certificate can be checked against the University register, so the claim never rests on the paper alone.

Can I obtain professional liability insurance with a University certificate?+

Graduates of IPHM- and CMA-recognised programmes may apply for professional liability insurance through those bodies' insurance partners. Eligibility and terms depend on the body, the programme, and the country in which you intend to practise — check with the relevant body before relying on it.

How do I verify that a certificate is authentic?+

Every certificate carries a unique credential number (format APU-XX-YYYY-NNNNN). Anyone may enter that number on the University's public verification page and receive the register entry: the holder's name, the programme, and the date of conferral.

Are the University's certificates recognised by employers?+

Recognition varies by country and by employer. CPD-certified and IPHM/CMA-recognised training is widely accepted among wellness employers, clinics and coaching practices; a regulated hospital role is a different matter. We state this plainly because a credential is only useful when you know exactly where it carries weight.

Is AccrediPro University regionally accredited in the United States?+

No. AccrediPro University is a private international institution, and it does not hold US regional accreditation (SACSCOC, HLC and similar), which applies to traditional US degree-granting institutions. What we hold are the nine international certifications listed on this page: professional memberships and recognitions, not US academic degree accreditation. Our credentials are professional credentials.

How often are the certifications renewed?+

Each body sets its own cycle — annual or biennial. The University's academic standards office manages the renewal submissions, curriculum audits and reporting required to keep all nine current.

What is CPD, and why does it matter?+

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. The CPD Certification Service (UK) is the largest independent CPD certifier, and many professional associations require their members to log CPD hours each year. A CPD-certified programme of study can count toward that requirement.

A certificate in hand can be checked against the register at any time on the public verification page. Further questions are answered through the University's offices.
