What is CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development — an ongoing process of learning and upskilling that helps you stay relevant, competitive, and confident in your career.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, CPD ensures you’re keeping pace with industry advancements, evolving technologies, and changing regulations.

It ensures you remain equipped with the latest knowledge, tools, and best practices relevant to your field. Across all industries, CPD plays a vital role in maintaining professional standards, improving performance, and supporting long-term career growth.

Formats
of CPD

Effective CPD takes a hybrid approach, combining a range of learning styles:

  • Interactive/Participatory Learning

    e.g. Workshops, webinars, conferences

  • Reflective/Passive Learning

    e.g. Reading industry updates, articles, or journals

  • Informal/Self-Directed Learning

    e.g. Coaching, mentoring, on-the-job learning

PROFESSIONAL BODIES

Tracking CPD

Most professional bodies require CPD tracking — typically awarding 1 CPD point per hour of relevant learning. Whether you’re attending a workshop, completing an online course, or participating in a mentorship session, make sure to log your hours and collect evidence where needed.

CPD

Formal learning with proof (e.g. certificates, attendance records)
