Understand the market

Build People's Dreams

This could include courses, workshops, informal learning opportunities, or vocational education that helps to expand knowledge or add new skills related to a chosen career.

In terms of Architecture & SACAP, there are three types of CPD.

2. Why is CPD important / What are the benefits of CPD?

It has been widely recognised that qualifications need to be supported by ongoing skills-based or practical learning.

CPD ENSURES YOU CAN UPSKILL THROUGHOUT YOUR CAREER

Engaging in CPD ensures that your qualifications never become outdated. You can continually upskill yourself and update your existing skills, no matter your age, occupation, or educational level.

CPD LETS YOU TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN DEVELOPMENT

CPD is a process normally driven by you – not your employer or anyone else. Unlike traditional learning, it requires a conscious, proactive approach. Through CPD, you’re able to see how far you’ve come, reflect on what you’ve learned and plug up any gaps in your knowledge or experience. You’ll also be building a portfolio of skills that you can show to employers or clients.

CPD ALLOWS YOU TO ADAPT TO THE EVOLVING WORKPLACE

The industries of today never stand still: change is occurring faster than ever. Employees have to keep up with the rapid pace of change brought about by advances in technology; they have to adapt quickly to their new circumstances. While qualifications alone used to be the main factor when hiring someone, strong CPD credentials attract equal attention today.

CPD KEEPS YOUR CAREER EXCITING

All careers offer the opportunity to learn something new. Without exploring these opportunities, there’s a good chance that you’ll become uninterested in your work over time. Learning about multiple aspects of your particular career is not only beneficial for your future, but for your morale and confidence too.
