Advance Your Career with Continuing Professional Development(CPD)


What is CPD?

Broadly Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is any activity engaged in by a qualified professional through which they continue to develop professionally.   CPD is about learning and development that enhances the participant’s effectiveness in their professional role.  This should maintain and enhance existing competences as well as developing new knowledge and skills. It should not be exclusively about formal courses or qualifications (although these can be a valuable element of CPD), and may involve development in both technical and non-technical areas. CPD includes a wide variety of activities such as open learning, private study, trainings, work experience and many more.   

Why should I do CPD?

As a professional, you have a requirement to keep your skills and knowledge up-to-date. CPD is an opportunity to develop yourself; the nature and measure of the benefit depends entirely on you. The credibility of engineering society is based on the willingness of each professional to embrace new skills, knowledge and experience.
