DELIVERING CPD

CPD is about skills and knowledge enhancement. Professionals have turned to you for educational support. They have accepted that you are an expert in your area of activity and are looking to learn from you. Thus, the more options that you can give them, in terms of increasing their understanding of the subject, will enhance their appreciation of the efforts you are making.

CPD can be provided in numerous ways:

• in-house presentations,

• half day workshops,

• seminars and conferences,

• technical reports,

• books,

• house magazines,

• newsletters,

• literature,

• videos,

• CD-ROM’s,

• audio tapes and discs,

• factory visits,

• site visits

• web sites

• online.

All can be utilised as mediums for delivering CPD.

When deciding what subjects to cover and how to make your CPD available, you might like to prepare a matrix. Along one side, list all the areas and subjects that you could cover. Along the other side, list how professionals might access CPD i.e. in-house seminar, printed material, electronically.

Think of it as a shopping list. The more subjects covered and the more options or modules made available to match learning levels, the greater the opportunities for creating and maintaining long-term relationships.
