CPD & IPD A Learning Experience

Continuing Professional Development

• Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a natural part of daily

and work life..

• It is NOT a separate activity.
• The separate activity is reflecting and recording those activities that

contribute towards your CPD.

• CPD helps members create a structured learning programme.
• CPD identifies knowledge gaps and can contribute to developing a

structured career pathway.

• CPD is about improving your skills, knowledge and expertise.

Value of CPD to Members

• It helps to highlight gaps in your knowledge, skills, and experience.
• CPD enables you to track your learning and progress.
• It builds confidence and credibility.
• CPD creates a professional impression at appraisals and job

interviews.

• Completing CPD can help you maximise your earning potential.
• It demonstrates to your employers that you are serious about

maintaining your skills and knowledge.

Value of CPD to Organisations

• CPD benefits all professionals and is important for personal and

professional development.

• It can also be useful to inform at annual appraisals, or personal

reviews ,that managers complete with their staff.

• CPD promotes better staff morale and motivates the workforce.
• It portrays a positive image of your company to other organisations.
• It helps employees to focus on individual achievements throughout

the year.

• This is first stage in setting up your online CPD.
• Your Development plan should include notes under the following

headings: 1. Your duties and responsibilities (this could be a description of your current role)

• 2. Objectives

(any objectives you are working to achieve over the next 6- 12 months) 3 Personal development (this could be any personal plans you have to develop any area’s of weakness)

• Members should review and update their development plan on a

regular basis.

Setting up your CPD – Your Development Plan

• The most common answer given by members for not completing

CPD is “I don’t have enough time”

• We have developed an Interactive CPD Planner to help members

address this. ( Available on Request )

• The planner divides the year into 4 quarters and helps members to

manage their CPD input time.

• Set aside 40 minutes at the end of each quarter to upload your

CPD activities onto the microsite : Review: Reflect: Record:

• The CPD planner has a link that takes members to the Blueprint

landing page where they can log in and complete a personal self assessment analysis.

• Once the self assessment analysis has been completed it can be

used to support your online CPD activities.
