Continuing Professional Development
Continuing professional development (CPD) can be both formal and informal professional development, based on an individual's needs.
To maximise individual potential and retain credibility within the profession it is essential that ADIs maintain high levels of professional competence.
ADIs can make a commitment towards professionalism by keeping up to date and continually seeking to improve their knowledge and expertise.
The DSA is currently working with representative organisations and other stakeholders to develop a structured CPD scheme in preparation for a public consultation on modernising driver training.

Famous quotes containing the words continuing, professional and/or development:
“I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions. Why this should be I cannot say, unless it is simply that the average American does not know a daredevil when he sees one.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
—H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
