CPD Training Opportunities

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or Continuing Professional Education (CPE) is the means by which people maintain their knowledge and skills related to their professional careers. CPD obligations are common to most professions and to practitioners in social service professions. Many professions define CPD as a structured approach to learning to help ensure competence to practice, through developing knowledge, skills and practical experience.
