B Consultants 2025 CPD
The B Lab Standards have been updated and we’re ready to raise the bar — together.
About this series
Learning Outcomes
During this training series, B Consultants will:
- Gain a detailed understanding of the B Lab Standards, their rationale, and their application to diverse organisational contexts.
-
Develop a comprehensive understanding of each requirement and its sub-requirements by exploring the associated considerations, opportunities, and challenges.
- Build confidence and learn collaboratively with peers.
Learning Structure
The series comprises nine CPD modules delivered via Thinkific and eight live Q&A sessions, which will take place during B Consultant Office Hours.
The live Q&A sessions are an opportunity to solidify your learning from each CPD module and discuss the standards with your peers. Your attendance is optional and highly recommended. Please note that live Q&A sessions will not be recorded, as the use of Zoom breakout rooms prevents the capture of multiple concurrent conversations. While attendance is encouraged, you won’t miss out - the best way to stay up to date is by completing each CPD module and engaging in discussions on the B Consultants Online Community.
As before, the completion of CPD modules remains a requirement for B Consultants. Please refer to the schedule below for the due dates. If you would like an extension, please submit a request via this form.
