FAQ


What is a CPD course?

What is a CPD course?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development and can be defined as the process through which an individual maintains and extends the knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong professional competence.

Obtaining CPD points refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge, and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work, beyond any initial training. It's a record of what you experience, learn, and then apply.

CPD courses refer to workshops, lectures, meetings, events, conferences, training, and online courses provided by professionals.

For a course to be formally CPD accredited by a professional body it usually has to fulfill a wide range of criteria.

For example

  • The target audience, goals of the event, and the benefits to participants should be clear.

  • Feedback from the participants is essential.

  • The profile of the event trainer/ speaker(s) must be of sufficient professional quality.

Why do I need continuing professional development?

Why do I need continuing professional development?

In this fast-moving world, it is ever more important to keep up to date in order to maintain standards and demonstrate competence and as more people become professionally qualified with similar qualifications, CPD becomes more important as a means of separating yourself from the pack.

Because continuing professional development can be measured using CPD points granted by an accredited organization,  the achievements you make can be noticed by potential and current employees. 

A planned approach to Continuing Professional Development allows an individual to put themselves in charge of their own career development and work-related ambitions.  This personal empowerment of learning brings with it an increase in confidence and resulting abilities, all of which can easily be linked to an improvement of capability for employment.

Are CPD online training courses any good?

Are CPD online training courses any good?

Although, in the past, the majority of CPD courses have been delivered in person, since the COVID-19 epidemic the landscape of events has changed.  Online courses and distance learning have now become increasingly popular, with the advantage of reduced costs to the course organisers.  These reduced costs are often (but not always) passed to the delegate, meaning lower priced tickets.  But with cheep online CPD courses there is a misconception regarding the value of this type of learning, and online certificates can often be dismissed as not offering a similar level of value to career progression. However, if a course has continued professional development accreditation from a recognized professional body, you can be assured that the same teaching standards are being upheld as similar face-to-face events.
