CPD Content

Most accountancy bodies have similar rules for what constitutes CPD. The ACCA website sets out what can be CPD, specifically it says:

CPD… – "is not just about attending face-to-face courses. For instance, coaching, mentoring, e-learning, networking, discussion groups, working on committees or panels, learning at work, reading, and undertaking research are just some of the other ways in which you can find development opportunities. The important point to remember is that the learning must be relevant to your current role or career aspirations".

Clearly the cpdwise personalised CPD service falls within the above parameters.

Under the heading of “Setting your CPD objectives” the ACCA web site states: "No matter what route your career has taken, it is important to consider non-technical skills. You may wish to pursue learning in business management, personal effectiveness, leadership and strategy or IT. ACCA recognises activity within all of these areas and more - what is important is that your learning is relevant to you."

The cpdwise personalised CPD service could be for you if you wish to explore and develop your business management, personal effectiveness, leadership and strategy or IT competencies.
