Continuing Professional Development

Are you up to date with the latest developments and knowledge in your profession?

The world of work is constantly changing, and continuing professional development (CPD) is the best way to keep up with the pace. CPD is the practice of carrying out learning-related activities by a professional to be current and competent in their profession.

In short, CPD is any professional development that improves and broadens your knowledge, skills, and ability to do your job. As an Approved Center of the Institute of Professional Development (IoPD) Individuals across the public, private and voluntary sectors can benefit from IGPP’s CPD certified conferences, training courses, and other events. Attending our certified events and courses helps you demonstrate your commitment to professional development to your employer and the wider market.

An Approved Delivery Centre of the Institute of Professional Development

The Institute of Government & Public Policy is proud to be an Approved Delivery Centre of the Institute of Professional Development (IoPD).

Approved Delivery Centre status recognises that our organisation has been independently reviewed by the IoPD against its quality framework and meets the standards expected of a professional learning provider. It reflects our commitment to designing and delivering training that is well-structured, professionally relevant, and built around genuine learning outcomes.

As an Approved Delivery Centre, our approved programmes carry IoPD Approved status, meaning they have been assessed as suitable for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). CPD is the ongoing learning that professionals undertake to keep their skills and knowledge current, and completing recognised CPD activity demonstrates a commitment to maintaining and advancing professional standards.

Working within the IoPD framework gives our clients and learners confidence that our approved training has been reviewed against an external, independent standard — not just our own.

CPD is vital for all NHS staff. It isn’t just important for career progression; it improves the quality of care by ensuring all staff have the skills they need to treat patients.

To justify funding learning and development for our employees, I always look to see that the events are CPD accredited so that the training meets a formal standard.
