CPD stands for 'Continuing Professional Development'. It refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work, beyond any initial training. It is a record of what you experience, learn and then apply.

One CPD point is equivalent to one hour of CPD accredited learning.

Continuing professional development is important because it ensures you continue to be competent in your profession. It is an ongoing process and continues throughout a professional's career.

Some accredited training qualifications and professional membership organisations mandate a CPD accreditation scheme.

A structured, CPD training approach helps employers across industries to keep key staff up to date and develop the skills and knowledge in their organisations to maintain an effective and compliant workforce.
