Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Continuing professional development (CPD) is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. This could mean honing current skills, it could mean developing them to a new level, or it could mean learning new ones that will allow an employee’s job role to expand or prepare them for potential promotion.

A CPD plan is a tool that helps you to focus on your professional development goals, your own personal skills and track your progress. The process of setting up a CPD plan involves reflecting on your current skills and knowledge, identifying areas where you need to develop further, and setting goals for your professional development plan.

What are CPD points?
CPD points are a measure of your educational activities and can be used to maintain professional registration. They can also be used as evidence of your commitment to continued professional development. The points are usually awarded for attending training courses, conferences and other events, or for completing self-directed learning activities. The number of points you can earn for each activity varies, and is set by the training provider or relevant professional body.
Who needs CPD?
Across the UK workforce, CPD is expected of most individual professionals in most sectors. It is generally governed by sector-specific professional organisations or regulators. Employers also increasingly expect their staff to undertake CPD, and may even measure them on it. Anyone who is a member of a professional body is likely to have CPD requirements laid out for them by the body, rather than by their employer. There are currently over 2,000 professional bodies, institutes and membership associations nationally in the UK. They represent all industries and professions, and all have CPD policies also known as CPD schemes..
