Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme will maximise your earning potential and keep your career on track.
Whatever stage you’re at in your career, CPD can help you plan and manage your professional development to meet your career goals. If you’re new to treasury, CPD can help you keep track of the skills and knowledge you develop along the way. But if you’re an experienced practitioner, CPD is relevant throughout your career as a way to add to your skills, support others and strengthen the profession as a whole.
There are no units to count or hours to complete. Our system is flexible, giving you the chance to develop your skills and apply them to the real world – on your terms. Our approach is based on reflecting on learning that focuses on outcomes and results. However, to give an indication of the time most members spend on their CPD, someone who is professionally active on a full time basis would probably spend around 30 hours a year on CPD — many of which can be gained on the job.
CPD is for all active Fellows and Associate members. The CPD year runs from the 1 May to the 30 April.
Listen to the introduction to CPD podcast which explains why we introduced CPD, who needs to do it, what’s involved and how to make your declaration.
In today’s fast-paced business world knowledge quickly becomes out of date. This is exactly why continuing professional development is so vital. CPD is a personal commitment to keeping your professional knowledge up to date and improving your skills. It focuses on what you learn and how you develop throughout your career.
The credibility of our profession is based on the commitment of individual members to self improvement. As a professional, you need to keep your skills and knowledge up to date. CPD helps you to keep track of the things you are doing – identifying the opportunities you are taking and recording your career objectives. It’s up to you how much you do – and the nature and scale of the benefits are up to you too.
