Approaching CPD has never been easier
Output based CPD
This approach focuses on the results or outcomes of the learning process. In output-based CPD, the emphasis is placed on the practical application of knowledge and skills. Professionals are encouraged to demonstrate their competencies through the production of tangible outputs, such as projects, presentations, reports, or other deliverables. The evaluation and assessment of CPD activities are primarily based on the quality and relevance of these outputs. This approach highlights the application and impact of learning in real-world scenarios.
Input-based CPD
This approach, on the other hand, centers around the inputs or activities undertaken during the learning process. It emphasizes the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, or experiences. Input-based CPD typically involves attending workshops, courses, conferences, seminars, or engaging in online learning modules. The focus is on the content, structure, and quality of the learning activities rather than solely on the practical application or outcomes. Evaluation and assessment in input-based CPD often involve measures such as attendance, participation, completion of coursework, or formal examinations.
Record keeping CPD
If the professional body you belong to does not apply output based CPD, then you can use the tool in record keeping mode. This will allow you to use the CPD management tool like an online briefcase for all your CPD related activities. Whenever you complete an activity, you can use the to log that activity. All your CPD related engagements kept in one place for you to easily access and report on when needed.
