What is CPD?

Continuing, or continuous, professional development (CPD), can be broadly defined as any type of learning you undertake which increases your knowledge, understanding and experiences of a subject area or role. Continuing Professional Development includes activities that expand your knowledge and teach you new skills.

The undertaking of CPD activities is a well-established method for the maintenance or assessment of renewal of accreditations and many professional accreditations and associates include an obligation to ensure that their members are actively developing and maintaining professional integrity.

Relevant Types of CPD

Formal Education & Training - This category is broadly defined as learning (knowledge and skills acquisition) that is delivered through a formal education or training programme and results in awarding of a certificate or qualification. Typically, this is education and training delivered by academic institutions, a registered training organisation (RTO), or an accredited industry trainer. The formal education and training must directly relate to improving/updating professional capabilities – 1 point per hour (contact hours only)
