Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the means by which professionals maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and skills and develop the personal qualities and competencies required in their working lives. It is a process for setting yourself objectives for development then charting your progress towards achieving them. The professional skills and knowledge you require will vary considerably, depending on your professional role and discipline. Your CPD should reflect both your current needs and your future aspirations. It is for you to decide the areas of skill and knowledge that are relevant to your role. As your career evolves, your skills and knowledge needs will change and your CPD will help you steer and manage your own route into the future.
