Types of CPD

Continuous Professional Development can be achieved by a variety of different methods, for a range of different purposes.

Structured CPD / Active Learning

involves interactive and participation-based study. It is typically proactive and can include attending a training course, conference, workshop, seminar, lecture, e-learning course or CPD certified event. CPD active learning also applies when professionals take career orientated exams and assessments (the study and revision would be considered self-directed learning, see Self-Directed Learning).

Reflective CPD Learning

- involves no participant-based interaction, so this form of CPD is much more passive and one directional. Examples of this include reading relevant news articles, podcasts & case studies and industry updates. Some informal meetings can be applicable to CPD reflective learning, but the learning objectives of these meetings must be made clear in an individual’s overall CPD plan.

Informal CPD / Self-Directed Learning

involves all unaccompanied CPD activities. It covers the reading of documents, articles and publications; either in print or online. Reading relevant publications, books by leading experts, industry journals and trade magazines are all types of self-directed CPD. You could also include industry-specific news feeds or research into relevant fields.

The availability of more flexible CPD suited for teachers and educators has increased significantly in recent years, with the introduction of online learning, short courses and half-day workshops, as well as distance learning and educational exhibitions.

BENEFITS OF CPD

CPD is essential in helping teachers, schools or educators to keep skills and knowledge up to date. Providing CPD enables schools to become a knowledge bank to key stakeholders of the school. CPD accredited training courses, workshops and events allow professionals to use the learning time towards individual CPD requirements.

Benefits of CPD for Individuals

CPD helps individuals to regularly focus on how they can become a more competent and effective professional. Training and learning increases confidence and overall capability, and compliments career aspirations.

Benefits of CPD for schools

Providing CPD accredited learning benefits your schools through recognition and increased brand perception. Internal use of CPD encourages and promotes a healthy learning culture for your schools, leading to a more fulfilled workforce and retaining valuable staff.

Importance of CPD for Employers

The responsibility for completing Continuous Professional Development lies ultimately with the individual, often within the context of their membership and involvement with industry professional bodies or institutes. However, more and more employers are taking a proactive and supporting role with the CPD required by their employees. Aside from industry associations, the importance of CPD within the general enterprise is growing, as more employers see the benefits of more highly skilled, motivated and committed workforce. There is a common misunderstanding with some employers that CPD takes significant time which may result in periods of “out of the business”. However, the availability of more flexible CPD suited for business requirements has increased significantly in recent years, with the introduction of online learning, short courses and half-day workshops, as well as distance learning and educational exhibitions. These can provide CPD learning seminars alongside new business revenue and networking opportunities.
