What is Continual Professional Development (CPD)?

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) identifies opportunities to learn something new, refresh existing knowledge, improve skills, and/or keep up to date with the latest developments in the profession/industry. 

City & Guilds have worked together with industry partners in highlighting the importance of maintaining a competent workforce that can demonstrate up-to-date knowledge and skills within their day to day working practices. The CPD/Refresher Modules have been development in support of this requirement.

Following completion of the CPD/Refresher Modules, the learner will receive a feedback form with any recommendations required. It is the responsibility of the employer, self-employed and/or individual to ensure recommendations are implemented.

A digital credential and an e-certificate will be issued for successful completion of the CPD/Refresher Modules. This aids the learner's ability to demonstrate that they have maintained their knowledge and practical skills.
