What is CPD?

CPD (Continuing Professional Development) courses are programmes that have been developed to increase your skills in the workplace and develop your career prospects.

They are primarily aimed at those who are currently working and are looking to improve their knowledge in a specific area.

Benefits for organisations

Investing in CPD allows you to support and develop your staff - giving them the opportunity to reach their full potential and achieve greater job satisfaction. It is an effective way of increasing the efficiency of your organisation while simultaneously improving staff satisfaction.

Benefits for individuals

CPD will give you the power to take control of your own career and develop in a way that will give you direction and improve your career prospects - or even alter your career path. See our skills escalators for examples of the routes through the NHS that CPD could allow you to take.

CPD at Coventry

At Coventry University we understand that learning in the workplace needs to be flexible and we offer all of our course modules on a stand-alone basis, allowing you to pick and choose the subjects that will help you most in your own career. We offer a variety of learning styles including blended and online courses that will give you the flexibility to fit your study in around your work.
