What is continual professional development (CPD)?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the process of continuing learning throughout our professional careers by acquiring job-related competence and expertise.  These skills can be gained from many different sources. The Security Institute recommends everyone undertakes CPD to keep pace with changes in the sector. It is generally accepted as a good thing for people who are serious about their career development to do.  Chartered Security Professionals (CSyPs) must undertake CPD as must Fellows of the Institute. (FSyI).
