Honorary Fellows

“The world of work is changing so fast that we all need to continue learning and developing new skills if we are to be competitive, effective and successful. Being a member of the Institute of CPD shows that you understand that and are committed to giving your best.” 

-Lord Bichard, Current Member of the House of Lords

“As professionals, we have to keep updated in our rapidly changing industries. But in order to stay fresh and relevant it is also vital to keep learning and developing new skills. Not only does this build professions to be proud of but it is personally motivating and rewarding too.”

-Dame Gillian Guy, DBE, Independent Assessor of the Financial Ombudsman Service; Formally Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Advice

“The world is always changing and will continue to do so. This means we all have to find ways of continuing to learn throughout our lives. 

Joining the Institute of Continuing Professional Development, which is committed to standards, is a simple and practical step to develop CPD more systematically. Through my involvement I have had some interesting conversations I would not otherwise have had and gained several valuable insights from them”.

“I know less now than I did when I thought I knew it all. In fact, it is frightening to realise how much more there is to learn.  The only reason I improve is because others with knowledge are generous enough to support me with my ongoing education. CPD is an integral and critical part of acquiring expertise and helps to make us better professionals and individuals with understanding both now and in the future.”
