What is CPD?
Simple questions. Would you let a dentist drill your teeth if they had not had formal training since the completed their first stage qualifications? Would you get on a plane without knowing the pilot was regularly put through new qualifications? Then would you let a fitness professional prescribe an exercise programme to a loved one without undergoing formal updates of training?
As an Exercise professional and member of the Register, keeping your skills and knowledge up to date is vitally important. Personal or professional development is seen as being complementary to how you develop your career and is seen as an important principle of professionalising the health and fitness industry. To deliver the services that clients expect and demand, personal development should be taken seriously. This is what REPs call CPD – Continuing Professional Development.
