CPD Courses
CPD (Continuing Professional Development) refers to the activities professionals do to improve and update their skills throughout their career. It’s a way to keep learning and growing, ensuring that qualifications stay relevant and career progress continues.
CPD helps professionals from all fields stay focused on skill development, so they can keep their knowledge fresh and continue advancing in their careers.
CPD Points: Most institutions and professional organisations set CPD targets every year. These targets are based on the number of CPD activities you complete, like attending training, online courses, events, or other structured learning. Many organisations use CPD points as their measure, and where CPD points or credits are used, these are typically a 1:1 ratio with CPD hours, where 1 point equals 1 hour.
