Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an essential component of your career growth and development. It’s a structured approach to learning that ensures you stay current in your field, enhance your skills, and remain at the forefront of industry trends and best practices.
For some certifications, completing specific CPD hours every 12 months is necessary to keep your certificate valid. You can find more details in the certification requirements.
