Question 10

Are e-Bright's Belt System courses recognized for continuing professional development (CPD) credits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. e-Bright is a member of the CPD Certification Service, and our courses from Yellow Belt through to Light Green Belt are certified for CPD credits. The time you spend on these courses counts toward the annual CPD* requirement set by your professional body.  The content focuses on substantive developments in tax workflows, digital compliance, data governance, and tax technology, rather than purely technical or IT training. From that perspective, it fits within broader reference points used by professional bodies when assessing whether training contributes to maintaining and enhancing professional tax competence.*CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. Most professional bodies for accountants, tax advisers and lawyers require members to complete a set number of learning hours each year to keep their qualification active. CPD recognition confirms that a course meets the standard those bodies expect.
