Continual Professional Development

Supporting you, as you take the next steps in your professional development

What is Continuing Professional Development?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the practice of regularly developing and enhancing your professional skills, knowledge and abilities over the course of your career. CPD is a proactive approach to personal learning and development that will ensure you stay current with the latest developments in your field, enable you to easily adapt to changes in the industry, and help you achieve your career goals.

Why is CPD important?

In a rapidly evolving professional landscape, CPD is an important way of ensuring that you remain proficient and competent in your field, allowing you to stay up-to-date with new trends, technologies and best practices. By regularly developing your skills and knowledge, you can advance in your career and open up new opportunities, promotions and increased earning potential. CPD also offers opportunities to connect with peers, mentors and industry leaders, allowing you to broaden your professional network and foster important professional relationships.

What is Chartership?

Chartership is a respected professional status that is awarded to individuals who demonstrate a high level of expertise and competence in their field. Achieving chartered status proves that a professional has met the strict criteria set by a recognised chartering body and showcases their dedication to excellence and continuous professional development. CPD forms an important part of the process to achieve and maintain chartered status.
