Continuous Professional Development Courses
Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
We live in a rapidly changing world where legislative, economic and social developments directly affect the environment in which we live and work.
CPD is quite simply a means by which one can understand more about their particular job, the working environment and to keep abreast of new or changing work practices. It is an ongoing process throughout our working lives.
CPD for individuals, employers and staff
CPD is beneficial for an individual wanting to fulfil a personal goal, for an employer wanting to fulfil gaps in their staff’s knowledge or for staff wanting to receive specialised training to contribute to a more effective and successful business.
In short, the main benefits of CPD for all the above three categories of people include to:
- respond to changing work conditions
- meet the requirements of professional bodies
- comprehend the latest developments in your field
- develop your knowledge and/or to achieve personal development
- be better at doing your job
- help employers support workplace learning for their staff
- help employers motivate their staff and bring new ideas into the business.
