What is CPD?
CPD stands for 'continuing professional development'. Over the years, each of us learns new skills - word processing, computer skills, business skills or perhaps new tools to help us in our work. But such informal learning tends to be casual and unstructured. Many professional bodies require their members to undertake a formal professional development programme to ensure that practitioners remain up-to-date with the latest technology and legislation, and that they maintain their skills at the highest level in their area of practice. And this type of training is affordable and particularly useful for those just starting out in their careers, as well as those who simply want to maintain their skills and experience.
