In short
CPD turns scattered, on-the-job learning into a recorded, reviewable picture of how your team is keeping its skills current — and a structured AI workshop with a certificate per attendee is a clean entry in that record.
The basics
What it actually means
CPD stands for continuing professional development: the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience you gain as you work, beyond any initial training. It covers both formal activity — courses, workshops, qualifications — and the informal learning that happens day to day, from a useful conversation with a colleague to taking on a new piece of work.
The point of CPD isn't the activity on its own; it's recording and reflecting on it so you can see how your capability is developing over time. Many professional bodies ask members to log a set amount of CPD each year and may audit a sample of records, so for a lot of roles it's an expected part of staying current rather than an optional extra.
How it works for you
What counts, and what we provide
A wide range of learning counts toward CPD — training courses, workshops, reading, mentoring, shadowing and reflective practice all qualify, and most professional bodies accept a mix of formal and informal sources. What matters is that the learning is relevant to your practice and that you record it.
Our AI training sessions count toward CPD, and every attendee receives a certificate confirming what they covered and when. That gives each person a tidy, dated piece of evidence to add to their own CPD record — useful whether they log it for a professional body or simply for an internal review of how the team is keeping pace with AI.
How we help
How our training fits your CPD record
Knowing what CPD is doesn't fill in your record — doing relevant, evidenced learning does. If your team is expected to keep skills current, you'll recognise the friction: training that's too generic to feel worth logging, sessions that leave nothing to point to afterwards, and a vague sense that everyone is "keeping up with AI" without anything written down to show it.
That's the gap our workshops close — practical AI training, built on your team's real work, that produces a clear record you can actually use:
Counts toward CPD
Our sessions are structured, relevant learning built on your team's real tasks, so they sit naturally within the formal-learning side of a CPD record alongside courses and workshops your team already log.
A certificate per attendee
Everyone who attends gets their own certificate confirming the session, the date and what was covered — a clear, dated piece of evidence each person can add to their CPD log.
Worth recording
Because we train on your actual work rather than generic examples, attendees leave with capability they'll genuinely use — the kind of learning that's meaningful to reflect on, not just a tick in a box.
How it compares
CPD certificate vs a formal qualification
| Formal qualification | CPD certificate | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A regulated award (degree, diploma, charter) | Evidence of completed professional learning |
| What it proves | Assessed competence to a national standard | That you took part in relevant, ongoing development |
| Time to earn | Months or years | A workshop or session |
| Goes in your CPD record | Yes | Yes |
| What our training gives | Not a qualification | A certificate per attendee that counts toward CPD |
