Discuss the importance of CPD and its contribution to own learning

1.CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the process of developing professional skills and
knowledge through interactive, participation-based or independent learning. It enables learners
to develop their professional capabilities through certified learning or self-guided learning
methods.

It involves setting objectives for short and long-term progression with a structured and goal-
specific plan. People engaging in CPD need to keep records of any knowledge attained and
progress made for the purpose of reflecting on their learning and for showcasing skills, and
sometimes as evidence of having undertaken CPD.

Development should build on technical and non-technical skills, so learners gain the expertise
and understanding required to approach professional situations from various angles.

2. CPD CONTRIBUTION TO MY LEARNING :

 Opens pathways to career progression or potential redirection, including achieving

higher salaries and better job security.

 Refines your personal skills and intellect and helps to plug any knowledge gaps.

 Keeps academic and practical qualifications up to date – keeping skills relevant is

integral in today’s fast-moving world, where rapid progression can quickly lead to
previous learning becoming obsolete.

 Enhances your ability to regularly learn and improve – you’ll learn quicker as you
become acquainted with the process and will become a better independent learner.

 Demonstrates ambitiousness, aptitude, and a dedication to self-improvement to current

and prospective employers and clients.

 Provides valuable examples and scenarios for showcasing professional achievements

and growth in CVs, cover letters, and interviews.
3.THE IMPORTANT OF CPD :

 Ensures that standards throughout the company are consistently high.

 Improves efficiency and productivity with highly skilled and motivated staff.

 Enhances the business’s reputation among customers and clients as well as potential
employees.

 Promotes a healthy learning culture.

 Improves employee retention as employees feel valued and loyal to the company.

 Provides a useful benchmark for annual reviews and appraisals.

 Enables the company to positively react and move with current trends and shifts in the
industry.

skills, knowledge and learning for own future goals.

1.LEARNING STYLE : VISUAL LEARNERS

Visual learners learn best when information is presented in a written language format or in
another visual format such as pictures or diagrams. The suggestions that follow can help me
succeed in school to the best of your ability.

 Create graphic organizers such as diagrams and concept maps that use visual symbols
to represent ideas and information.

 When trying to remember information, close your eyes and visualize the information.

 Include illustrations as you take notes in class.

 Use highlighter pens of contrasting colors to color code different aspects of the
information in your textbooks.

 Sit in the front of the class so that you can clearly see the teacher. This will allow you to
pick up facial expressions and body language that provide cues that what your teacher is
saying is important to write in your notes.

 Study in a place that is free from visual distractions.

 When using flashcards, limit the amount of information on a card so that you can form a
mental picture of the information.

 Watch videos about topics you are studying in class.

 When hearing a new word you want to remember, visualize its spelling.

 When reviewing information, rewrite or draw the information from memory.

 When taking notes, replace words with symbols wherever possible.

 Type your written notes from class using different fonts, bold print, and underlining to
make the most important concepts and facts visually apparent.

 When solving math problems that involve a sequence of steps, draw a series of boxes,
each containing the appropriate piece of information in sequence.
2. PERSONALITY TYPE : (INFJ)

2.1. INFJ STRENGTHS :

 Creative – Combining a vivid imagination with a strong sense of compassion, INFJs use
their creativity to resolve not technical challenges, but human ones. People with the INFJ
personality type enjoy finding the perfect solution for someone they care about, and this
strength makes them excellent counselors and advisors.

 Insightful – Seeing through dishonesty and disingenuous motives, INFJs step past
manipulation and sales tactics and into a more honest discussion. INFJs see how people
and events are connected, and are able to use that insight to get to the heart of the
matter.

 Inspiring and Convincing – Speaking in human terms, not technical, INFJs have a
fluid, inspirational writing style that appeals to the inner idealist in their audience. INFJs
can even be astonishingly good orators, speaking with warmth and passion, if they are
proud of what they are speaking for.

 Decisive – Their creativity, insight and inspiration are able to have a real impact on the
world, as INFJs are able to follow through on their ideas with conviction, willpower, and
the planning necessary to see complex projects through to the end. INFJs don’t just see
the way things ought to be, they act on those insights.

 Determined and Passionate – When INFJs come to believe that something is

important, they pursue that goal with a conviction and energy that can catch even their
friends and loved ones off guard. INFJs will rock the boat if they have to, something not
everyone likes to see, but their passion for their chosen cause is an inseparable part of
their personality.

 Altruistic – These strengths are used for good. INFJs have strong beliefs and take the
actions that they do not because they are trying to advance themselves, but because
they are trying to advance an idea that they truly believe will make the world a better
place.
2.2. INFJ WEAKNESSES :

 Sensitive – When someone challenges or criticizes INFJs’ principles or values, they are
likely to receive an alarmingly strong response. People with the INFJ personality type
are highly vulnerable to criticism and conflict, and questioning their motives is the
quickest way to their bad side.

 Extremely Private – INFJs tend to present themselves as the culmination of an idea.

This is partly because they believe in this idea, but also because INFJs are extremely
private when it comes to their personal lives, using this image to keep themselves from
having to truly open up, even to close friends. Trusting a new friend can be even more
challenging for INFJs.

 Perfectionistic – INFJs are all but defined by their pursuit of ideals. While this is a
wonderful quality in many ways, an ideal situation is not always possible – in politics, in
business, in romance – and INFJs too often drop or ignore healthy and productive
situations and relationships, always believing there might be a better option down the
road.

 Always Need to Have a Cause – INFJs get so caught up in the passion of their pursuits
that any of the cumbersome administrative or maintenance work that comes between
them and the ideal they see on the horizon is deeply unwelcome. INFJs like to know that
they are taking concrete steps towards their goals, and if routine tasks feel like they are
getting in the way, or worse yet, there is no goal at all, they will feel restless and
disappointed.

 Can Burn Out Easily – Their passion, poor patience for routine maintenance, tendency
to present themselves as an ideal, and extreme privacy tend to leave INFJs with few
options for letting off steam. People with this personality type are likely to exhaust
themselves in short order if they don’t find a way to balance their ideals with the realities
of day-to-day living.
