Continuing Professional Development with SQA
Why is CPD so important?
Training or qualifications can become out dated as working life changes to meet new demands.
Maintaining or upgrading skills and knowledge can help to enhance performance. It can also support career progression and ensure individuals continue to develop the required skills and knowledge in times of change.
How do we support CPD?
We are committed to supporting and enhancing CPD for our own staff, our appointees, and staff in our centres. Quality CPD can improve understanding of our qualifications and assessments, enhancing the experience of staff and learners alike.
