Continuing Professional Development (CPD) has become a standard practice in most professions today. In order to continue practising, professionals from dentists, pharmacists and human resource professionals to accountants and lawyers must complete a specific number of hours of CPD each year.
So what is it? CPD is a combination of learning approaches to maintain, improve and broaden knowledge and skills and ultimately competence. CPD involves attending lectures, training seminars and courses, reading and subscribing to articles and enabling oneself to continue developing as a professional.
Research has proved that this type of development is crucial, with a direct correlation between self-development and business success.
So what is available for people not linked to professional bodies? Entrepreneurs and business owners often fall directly into this category and if development is a crucial aspect of success, how are business owners going to ensure they continue to progress professionally?
TrainE-TraidE’s seminars have been devised to assist entrepreneurs and business owners with quick opportunities to develop their skills, and professionalise their experiences - contributing to business success. These practical talks take place first thing in the morning, allowing business owners the opportunity to attend without being away from their business for large amounts of time. They are all practical with elements of technical expertise and real-life case studies. Feedback from delegates has been consistently excellent.
