CPD points are units that quantify the time and quality of learning and development (L&D) activities.
In the GCS, one hour of L&D roughly equates to one CPD point. You are expected to:
-
achieve 30 CPD points over the course of the performance year (April to March) through a range of L&D activities
-
record your points – and what you learned – in your personal development plan (PDP) .

Continuing, or continuous, professional development (CPD), can be broadly defined as any type of learning you undertake which increases your knowledge, understanding and experiences of a subject area or role.
CPD is an ongoing and planned learning and development process. It focuses on what you learn and how you develop but may include a formal process of recording it (through supervision, submission of assignments etc.). You are probably already undertaking CPD without even knowing it.
