CPD and Lifelong Learning
Continuing professional development is the systematic maintenance and improvement of knowledge, skills and competence, and the enhancement of learning, undertaken by an individual throughout his or her working life.
CPD, in the context of lifelong learning, is vital in our increasingly networked world, where the growing use of information and communications technologies continues to dissolve boundaries.
Welcome
The Institute of Continuing Professional Development, or CPD Institute, is an international cross-professional body promoting CPD, as a key component of lifelong learning, to organisations and individuals. It also encourages networking and partnership among professionals and the groups with which they are associated.
