What is Continuing Professional Development (CPD)?
CPD is activity undertaken to ensure members' skills and
knowledge are up-to-date. It is a common requirement for qualified
members of professional bodies. It reflects the fact that, in
today's fast changing world, knowledge gained through
qualifications quickly dates and, if our members are to remain
competent, they must continue to develop and enhance their
knowledge.
