What is Continual Professional Development (CPD)?

CPD/Refresher products can be found under the relevant qualification page (chainsaw and related operations, pesticides and pest control, utility arboriculture).

 Continuous Professional Development (CPD) identifies opportunities to learn something new, refresh existing knowledge, improve skills, and/or keep up to date with the latest developments in the profession/industry. 

City & Guilds have worked together with industry partners in highlighting the importance of maintaining a competent workforce that can demonstrate up-to-date knowledge and skills within their day to day working practices. The CPD/Refresher Modules have been development in support of this requirement.

Following completion of the CPD/Refresher Modules, the learner will receive a feedback form with any recommendations required. It is the responsibility of the employer, self-employed and/or individual to ensure recommendations are implemented.

A digital credential and an e-certificate will be issued for successful completion of the CPD/Refresher Modules. This aids the learner's ability to demonstrate that they have maintained their knowledge and practical skills.
