Continuous Professional Development


What is CPD?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the means by which professionals maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills. The world is moving ever faster so on-going CPD is essential to support you in your current role as well as helping you with career progression. CPD is all about upgrading knowledge, skills and capabilities to remain effective and compliant.

You are already likely to be participating in learning activities which contribute towards your Continuing Professional Development without realizing it. Almost everything that improves your knowledge and skills is considered as CPD. Use the CPD of CILM to gain recognition for your learning.

The launch of this formal CPD program by the Chartered Institute of Leadership and Management is a tool by which managers can use the guidance that is provided to manage their own CPD and gain formal CPD status accredited by the Institute.

Below is a complete explanation of the CPD program detailing your requirement as a member in completing your own annual PDP Record as well as guidance on mandatory and core requirements with point system scheme noted.

Continuous Professional Development Program


Introduction

The business world that professional managers operate in today requires that all managers at all levels continue to develop their knowledge and skills in line with changing practices and developments in their industry. Professional managers take charge of their own development, and manage this to ensure that skills and knowledge are updated regularly.

The Chartered Institute of Leadership and Management is the professional body for managers in different business sectors in Europe, United States and the rest of the world. The role of the Institute is to foster, facilitate and promote professionalism amongst business and hospitality managers in the industry. The launch of a formal CPD program by the Chartered Institute of Leadership and Management is a tool by which managers can use the guidance that is provided by the Institute to manage their own CPD and gain formal CPD status as accredited by the Institute.


Definition: Continuous Professional Development

A continuous process of acquiring new knowledge and skills throughout one’s professional life. As undergraduate and postgraduate education is insufficient to ensure lifelong management learning, it is essential to maintain the competencies of management, to remedy gaps in skills, and to enable professionals to respond to the challenges of rapidly growing knowledge and technologies, changing needs and the social, political and economic factors that impact on the practice of business management.


CILM Continuous Professional Development Standards

Maintain a continuous, up to date and accurate record of CPD activities.
Attend official CILM CPD learning events or CILM CPD certified learning events
Demonstrate evidence of further training and development that is relevant to your job role and updating your own skills
Demonstrate evidence of prior learning and experience in your related management discipline, where relevant
Demonstrate evidence of further research in areas related to your management discipline, where relevant Attain the required level of CILM CPD points on a yearly basis

This will mean that the individual must be a member of the IHI and maintain an accurate record of CPD activities which will be a combination of mandatory activities that members are required to attend in order to gain CPD accreditation and other activities decided by the individual that enhance and improve their own skills and knowledge in line with what their professional job role demands.



How to Record & Log CPD Points

Members maintain a yearly PDP (professional development plan/record) which outlines all CPD targets/achievements for the year. Members are responsible for recording and logging their own CPD points. Members are required to submit achievements on an annual basis on the PDP provided.


The PDP Plan/Record

Each year, members are required to submit their completed PDP record direct to the CILM. This record sets out exactly how each individual has achieved their mandatory CPD points and the detail of each required number of core CPD points in order to gain overall accreditation.

The record should be submitted only when the individual member has accumulated over the course of the year culminating in the achievement of 60 CPD points that determines CPD accreditation. (PDP/Record available within the member’s zone of the CILM site.)


Verification of Member’s CPD Points

Verification of CPD points for each member will involve a check on the points achieved per competency. A completed PDP/Record template will be provided to members and this should be used for clarity purposes when completing your own individual PDP/Record.

In order to verify each activity undertaken a specific “Activity Record Sheet” should be kept by the individual member as evidence of completion of each activity with the relevant backup and signatory. It is these activity record sheets that may be requested by the CILM as supplementary evidence when formally confirming accreditation of CPD points.

For Educational verification your certificate issued with results from the relevant college would be requested for verification.


Certification of CILM CPD

Once all submitted documentation for CPD has been submitted and verified, each member who has reached the designated number of CPD points will be awarded CPD status within the CILM.
