Information for new CPD providers

Much of the CPD that GOC registrants undertake is delivered by organisations registered with the GOC to provide CPD. GOC-registered CPD providers can deliver ‘higher value’ CPD to optical professionals, and can give assurances to them that the learning delivered is quality assured.

We require our CPD providers to meet certain standards to be able to deliver learning. These are set out in our guidance for providers document. If you are considering becoming a CPD provider, you should read this guidance thoroughly before submitting your application as it sets out what CPD looks like for optical professionals. You may also find it useful to read our CPD guidance for registrants.

To register as a CPD provider, please visit our MyCPD Portal, click on ‘For new CPD providers only - register with the GOC here’ and fill out the application form.
