True CPD Experts and Cutting Edge Research
Founded in 2012, The CPD Standards Office has spent over a decade researching and understanding the role of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) on a pan-industry, multi-disciplinary basis, within the current UK business environment.
The Office was established following one of the largest academic studies into the field of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and adult skills development.
In partnership with Kingston Business School, Warwick University and an educational charity at Oxford University, the research was conducted over a period of 2 years.
The results yielded a range of insights, and opened the door for professional bodies and employers to understand how to deliver positive and successful CPD learning experiences.
Out of all the findings, the most dominant was that professional individuals in the UK had an increasing low regard and dislike for undertaking CPD, for the following reasons:
The quality of training courses advertised as CPD learning were often poor educational experiences for individual professionals
Many CPD learning experiences were miss-sold, and actually sales presentations or commercially focused activities
The CPD accreditations services available were mainly approving providers at an organisational level, and not investigating the actually titles and educational units.
Over the past decade, we have been fortunate to research and consult with over 100 organisations, who have not only made our research possible; enabling us to pioneer new frontiers of knowledge in academic, sciencific and practition understanding in the field of CPD.
