Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (UK) approached the definition of CPD by ways of explaining each word in turn. It is (as follows):
- continuing, because learning never ceases, regardless of age or seniority;
- professional, because it is focused on professional competence in a professional role; and
- concerned with development, because its goal is to improve personal performance and enhance career progression, which arguably is much wider than just formal training courses.
