1. What is CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It refers to the process of continually improving and expanding your knowledge, skills, and abilities throughout your career. When a course is CPD-accredited, it meets specific quality standards, ensuring the training is relevant, up-to-date, and beneficial for professional growth.

2. Why does CPD matter?

Professional bodies and many employers require individuals to meet certain CPD hours or credits annually. By taking CPD-accredited courses, you:

• Fulfill those requirements
• Demonstrate your commitment to staying current with industry best practices
• Enhance your personal career development

3. How are CPD hours or credits calculated?

Typically, 1 CPD hour equals 1 hour of active learning. Some accrediting bodies refer to them as “credits” instead of hours, but the principle remains the same—a standardized measure of your time spent learning.

4. What are the benefits of CPD for the learner?

• Career Advancement: A CPD certificate shows ongoing development and can be used to demonstrate expertise or meet promotion criteria.
• Recognition: Accredited training is more widely recognized by employers and professional bodies, boosting your credibility.
• Current Skill Set: CPD-accredited courses are regularly reviewed and updated, ensuring you learn the latest industry standards and best practices.
• Motivation and Confidence: Continual learning builds confidence in your skill set, which can lead to improved job performance and satisfaction.

5. How does CPD benefit our business if we purchase these courses for employees?

• Enhanced Competitiveness: Trained, knowledgeable staff help your business stay ahead of market changes and maintain a cutting-edge approach.
• Employee Retention: Investing in professional development builds loyalty and motivation, reducing turnover costs.
• Quality Assurance: CPD accreditation ensures that the training meets recognized standards, giving you confidence in the quality of the content.
• Structured Development: CPD hours allow you to track and measure employee growth, helping identify skill gaps and plan future training initiatives.

6. Are there any financial or tax benefits to taking CPD courses?

• Employer Funding: Many employers have a professional development budget set aside for CPD-accredited courses.
• Tax Deductions: In certain jurisdictions, the cost of job-related training may be tax-deductible. Always consult local regulations or a tax advisor for specific guidance.

7. How can I prove I’ve completed my CPD?

Upon completion of a CPD-accredited course, you will typically receive a certificate stating the number of CPD hours or credits earned. This certificate serves as proof of your achievement and can be used to meet industry or employer requirements.
