What is CPD?
Learning that keeps you current.
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development: the ongoing learning professionals undertake to improve their skills, knowledge and abilities. It is a way to track and document the formal and informal learning that happens throughout a career, so professionals remain current and effective in their field.
At the end of each course, participants receive the DAfree CPD certificate and points.
Courses are available individually or as a comprehensive package, for professionals or for organisations training their teams. For pricing, scheduling and enrolment, contact us directly at CPD@dafree.org or send an enquiry.
