If it's useful and relevant, I also have a very good contact with someone at the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) who is very much an advocate of training of this kind and is well connected and pretty influential. It may be something that he'd be interested in supporting on a voluntary basis.
Do let me know if this is something that might be of interest and I'll arrange a meeting.

No, having started seriously Monday early I haven't got to everything yet ... let's just say getting quality into teaching material is probably harder than getting recognition of quality once it's there.
It might be worth talking to potential accreditors earlier rather than later in the process (although not having already spoken to them two days in is forgiveable!). One thing you'll need to agree with them in the learning objectives, and they should be worked out before you get too far with producing content.
If our CIPR contacts can put you in touch with the right people at some universities, that would give you an excellent foot in the door.
