The CPD Certification Service’s Advice Centre
Helping organisations develop and introduce CPD strategies and
programmes
The CPD Certification Service’s Advice Centre supports organisations
that require a CPD strategy for employees on an in-house basis and/or on
an external client facing basis.
Delivering CPD certified activities internally:
For some organisations, implementing a comprehensive CPD framework
will be a new venture. We can assist in designing and developing a CPD
strategy that aligns to the organisation’s mission and objectives, as
well as ensuring it fits comfortably within current HR and training
policies.
For organisations with an existing CPD policy, we offer the ability
to advance the current
strategy and to bring it up to date with the latest industry
requirements.
Delivering CPD certified activities externally:
Many organisations have the ability of transferring their inherent
knowledge base into
educational activities, which in turn, will be relevant to existing or
future clients. We can help develop a CPD programme of activity that
operates alongside a corporate or brand marketing strategy. In addition,
many training and event providers seek CPD certification as a
value-added proposition for their delegates. Individuals participating
in such events can then formally attribute their attendance to CPD
portfolios for their professional bodies, institutes and employers. We
can assist in ensuring that such activities conform to CPD guidelines.
What counts for certified CPD:
We can also assist in developing learning activities into a
structured framework that meets CPD requirements. CPD is commonly
offered through training courses or conferences. However, there are many
other forms of educational activities which are applicable for CPD
certification. These include:
Achieving CPD through instructor led training events
Public courses
Bespoke in-house courses
Coaching and mentoring sessions
Peer assisted learning (PAL)
Factory tours and site visits
Achieving CPD through events
Conferences
Seminars
Networking
Achieving CPD through technology:

Webinars

Achieving CPD through individual learning:
