So, what is CPD? CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and is the term used to describe the learning activities professionals engage in to develop and enhance their abilities. It enables learning to become conscious and proactive, rather than passive and reactive.

CPD combines different methodologies to learning, such as training workshops, conferences and events, e-learning programmes, best-practice techniques and ideas sharing, all focused for an individual to improve and have effective professional development. There are over 1,000 institutes and professional bodies across the UK, a number that is forecast to increase.

Accompanied by such growth is the acceptance that academic qualifications must offer more vocational and skills-based or practical learning. A structured, practical and methodical approach to learning helps employers across industries to retain key staff and develop the skills and knowledge in their organisations to maintain a sustainable and competitive advantage.

Engaging in CPD ensures that both academic and practical qualifications do not become out-dated or obsolete: allowing individuals to continually ‘up skill’ or ‘re-skill’ themselves, regardless of occupation, age or educational level.
