Continuing Professional Development

When actively and positively embraced by members, lifelong professional learning through continuing professional development (CPD) supports and facilitates the advancement of professional skills, knowledge and behaviours. This allows members to develop, progress and become leaders in their fields, inspiring the next generation of professionals.

The value of CPD

It helps members to understand and to build on current best practices, to understand potential risks they, their firms and clients face, and to work continually to improve so that they remain at the forefront of professional practice.

In essence, CPD is a professional’s toolkit to remain fit to practice, and to develop knowledge and skills in practice – becoming fully engaged with their profession and professional responsibilities. It is also a critical tool for ensuring that public trust and confidence in the profession is upheld.
