Understanding Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
What is Continuing Professional Development
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the ongoing process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and competencies beyond formal education or initial training. It’s a structured process professionals use throughout their careers to enhance their skills, stay current with industry changes, and improve performance. CPD fosters a lifelong learning approach, facilitating continuous evolution across industries and ensuring alignment with evolving technology, best practices, and industry trends. Additionally, the number of hours we spent on any CPD activity corresponds to the acquisition of CPD points. Within CPD, there are three different approaches:
Formal CPD comprises structured learning programmes, workshops, and seminars delivered by qualified instructors. These activities often result in certifications or qualifications and focus on active learning to enhance participants’ understanding and application of knowledge.
Informal CPD involves self-directed learning activities outside formal programmes. This includes independent learning, reading professional publications, and participating in online forums. It is a less structured approach that allows professionals to expand their knowledge independently.
Reflective CPD entails passive learning through self-assessment and critical analysis of experiences. By engaging in reflective practice, professionals identify areas for growth and set goals for future development. Being self-directed and less structured, reflective CPD fosters personal and professional growth.
What are CPD Points?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points or credits are a standardised measurement unit to quantify professionals’ engagement in learning and development activities. These credits are pivotal in tracking and assessing individuals’ CPD progress. CPD Points or credits are earned through a diverse range of structured learning activities, including training courses, workshops, eLearning modules, and professional events. CPD points or credits symbolise professionals’ unwavering dedication to continuous improvement and skill enhancement, acting as tangible evidence of their commitment to ongoing professional development. By actively accruing these credits, individuals reaffirm their proactive approach towards staying abreast of industry trends, advancing their expertise, and fostering personal and professional growth.
