Reviews:

"The chapters answer many of the questions we are asked during CPD workshops and will provide underpinning arguments and support for both staff and students to encourage a positive attitude to this development tool."
Tricia Price, Course Leader MA Personnel and Development, Westminster Business School (comments on 1st edition)


Description:

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an integral part of the ClPD Professional Standards. In addition to traditional modes of study, all ClPD students must demonstrate an understanding of, and commitment to, CPD. Furthermore, those wishing to become Members of the Institute must demonstrate a similar commitment to CPD. This book will provide both groups with detailed practical guidance and a theoretical overview. The text includes a range of examples and case studies (with commentary) and various activities are proposed to aid self-assessment and evaluate progress.
This second edition builds on the success of the first, offering:

  • increased coverage of the critical debate about issues in CPD
  • outlines of how to organise and encourage CPD
  • guidance on how seniors and professionals can use and benefit from CPD

 

Target Audience:
This book is useful for HR students and professionals as well as for Management professionals.
