Maintaining your CPD helps you develop the personal qualities required throughout your professional life by supporting and recognising your ongoing professional advancement. It can increase the personal satisfaction you gain from your work and help improve the contribution you make to the success of your organisation. "There are never enough hours in the marketing day. So, the most valuable aspect of the IDM CPD scheme to me is that it provides focus and gives me a very good reason to commit time to studying and improving my knowledge. I have used the opportunity provided by the IDM CPD scheme to both enhance my existing skills and for new learning."
Christopher Smith M IDM Online Marketing Manager, Autoglass
"It's easy to assume that we will develop and maintain skills in our everyday work. However, intense pressure and focused effort on the task at hand is more likely to limit our appreciation of the wider environment our customers operate in. By entering into a formal CPD programme I find that I set aside time to think about, plan and positively progress my development so adding to my experience and helping me to add value."
