BSTD Academy
CPD Accredited AI Vibe Coding and Prompt Engineering Certification
The Bayesian School of Technological Development trades as [bstd] Academy and delivers CPD Standards Office accredited training in AI-assisted development. The flagship Certificate in AI Vibe Coding and Prompt Engineering carries 10 CPD points, needs no prior coding experience, and runs entirely self-paced on web, iOS and Android.
What the course covers
Five lessons covering AI-assisted software development, prompt engineering technique, how large language models actually behave, using AI agents to automate repetitive work, and ethical AI practice. The emphasis is on building things with AI tooling rather than learning a programming language, so it is aimed at people who need output rather than a developer career.
CPD accreditation and assessment
Accredited by the CPD Standards Office and worth 10 CPD points. There is a final assessment with a 75% pass mark and progress tracking along the way; the certificate is issued instantly on passing. CPD points count towards the continuing development requirements of most professional bodies, but check what your own body accepts before relying on them.
How it is delivered
Self-paced e-learning with interactive checkpoints and a 24/7 AI tutor called Mr Webb, available on the web and through the [bstd] Academy apps for iOS and Android. No fixed dates and no classroom element, so it can be started from anywhere at any time. Most learners finish within a week.
Who it suits
Project managers and team leaders scoping technical work, business analysts, L&D and HR professionals building an AI skills programme, entrepreneurs building an MVP without hiring developers, administrative staff automating repetitive tasks, and career changers moving into technology. Team plans are available for corporate training with progress tracking and certificate distribution.
What CPD accreditation is, and is not
CPD accreditation confirms that the training has been independently reviewed for quality and learning value, and that the points claimed are credible. It is not a regulated qualification and it sits outside the Ofqual framework, so it is not comparable to an NVQ, a NEBOSH certificate or a CITB card. For statutory or card-scheme requirements you need the accredited route.

This is CPD professional development, not a regulated qualification. For NEBOSH, IOSH, CITB and NVQ routes, Envico compares accredited courses across hundreds of providers.
