www.truckandtrack.com Autumn 2022 Truck and Track 27 CILT(UK) The Institute utilises the Competency Framework to bring together our professional communities and help our members identify the right development opportunities for them. We map our regulated and accredited qualifications, accredited University degrees, endorsed short courses and CPD allocations to the Competency Framework to enable members to make informed and useful development decisions and closing appropriate skills gaps. Continuing Professional Development Continuing professional development (CPD) is an integral aspect of any professional’s working life. As a leading professional Institute, CILT(UK) has made a strong commitment to CPD and all members are expected to adopt the philosophy as part of their career path. CILT(UK) allocates CPD in two formats: ● Structured: a piece of formalised learning with specified learning outcomes and embedded techniques to help learners retain that learning; structured CPD will usually include an assessment or a knowledge check. ● Experiential: a development opportunity that is usually at the discretion of the individual; this type of CPD provides value within its content, but does not express any formal learning outcomes for the participant; participants are responsible for the degree of interaction with the development opportunity and drawing their own ideas, conclusions and knowledge from it. When considering our CPD, individuals must think about what is relevant to their current situation and the development needs of the now, but also consider future endeavours and what may need to be focussed on next. The CPD that is relevant to you will depend on your current situation and the goals you or your organisation have set. You need to consider your preferred way of learning, and also select a good mix of CPD activity to ensure a balance of what you are good at, and what challenges you. CPD is a lifelong commitment; the recognition and application of the developmental requirements to achieve your goals and improve your outputs as you stretch your capabilities and competence. As you identify your workplace application level you will consider the breadth and depth to which you need to develop your competencies.
