External Verifier Personal Development Plan (PDP) and Continuing Professional Development Record (CPDR)
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is about how you use a variety of learning experiences to develop yourself personally.
There is a common principle in how you approach CPD, whether you think in terms of self-development or lifelong learning. It is about the learning and development that you undertake and the method you use to reflect on and record this learning. This section will provide for advice on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for External Verifiers who have one or more of the following remits:
- Customised Awards (CA)
- Higher National (HN)
- Vocational Qualifications (VQs)
