MAW Education has achieved CPD accreditation, and the Teaching Skills course has been reviewed by the CPDSO assessment team so that delegates can earn formal CPD points when they complete the three-module programme. You have just two more lessons to complete before we can award you the much-valued Standards Office CPD certificate!

The CPD Standards Office is part of the Professional Development Consortium and is an organisation that offers accreditation for formal training and learning activities alongside running continuous research into new and better ways of doing CPD. The aim of the CPD Standards Office is to ensure that the CPD provision on offer to professionals across ever sector is varied, engaging and effective. ***** MAW Education has achieved CPD accreditation and their Teaching Skills course has been reviewed by the CPDSO assessment team so that delegates can earn formal CPD points when they complete the programme. ***** CPD is important for any professional, some sectors are governed by a Professional Body or Regulator each of which have a CPD policy that their members must adhere to. Regulated professionals need to maintain their CPD record in order to continue to practice and this can be measured by the number of CPD hours (or points) a professional undertakes, or else in an outcomes based way. This means that individuals must self-prescribe learning they feel they need, and then reflect on how it has helped them to improve in their role. ***** If you don’t have a formal CPD record to keep, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep a personal one. ***** Our research has shown that a CPD section on a CV can greatly improve employability prospects (The CPD Research Project 2010). Undertaking and recording formal CPD is a great way to demonstrate to your current or prospective employer that you work hard to keep up to date.
