EducateAble is a global inclusive education platform, founded with the mission to make education accessible, practical, and affirming for all learners, particularly neurodivergent children.

The platform focuses on bridging the gap between evidence-informed strategies and the everyday realities of classrooms, especially in under-resourced or developing regions. EducateAble’s vision is rooted in the belief that every child deserves to learn in a way that respects their pace, needs, and identity.

Are Alison courses accredited/recognised?

Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, is the process of continually developing or maintaining your professional skills. CPD helps individuals focus on how they can become a more competent and effective professional. Due to our rigorous publishing review process, courses on Alison are now being accredited by CPD UK, an independent organisation. Accredited CPD training means the learning activity has reached the required Continuing Professional Development standards and benchmarks, and the learning value has been scrutinised to ensure integrity and quality. This CPD Certification Service provides recognised independent CPD accreditation compatible with global CPD requirements. This means a certificate from a course on Alison can now be used as part of your CPD requirements (please check with your organisation’s guidelines). You can find out more about Alison accreditation here.

How much does cost to purchase a Certificate?

Users can pay a nominal fee to automatically download Digital Certificates or purchase paper or framed Certificates that are shipped via mail. For a more detailed list of the costs, visit the Shop page.

You don’t have to purchase a Certificate in order to certify. You can access your Learner Report showing that you have completed the course.
