Why should your teams use CPD Central?
For individual technicians, CPD Central enables simple and accurate recording of activities, anytime, anywhere, and allows them to reflect on their skills and training needs.
For institutions, it can help connect teams to set tasks and objectives and identify gaps in an individual’s skills and capabilities.
CPD Central has a key role in supporting technical career development; allowing individuals and teams to recognise current skills and abilities as well as identify skills gaps which can be addressed by targeted training and development opportunities.
Virtual meetings and telecommunications are provided for support from start to finish as you get to grips with CPD Central.
“I found the template for professional registration very useful as I keep track of my CPD and download a report to submit to the Science Council without duplicating my workload.”
