 CPD Reflective Review and Portfolio
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is the process of documenting and tracking the knowledge, skills, and experience that one gains formally and informally through training and work (CIPD, 2015, p. 4). It records all that one learns and experiences academically, professionally, and individually. CPD enables one to manage their development on an ongoing basis. It is broader than a tick-box in that it helps one record, review, and reflect on what they have learned in the course of their lives. It is also a requirement by some organizations in training and development. CPD process is documented, self-directed focus on both formal and informal learning and helps one set development objectives and goals (Kennedy, 2005, p. 245). CPD carries numerous advantages for a professional. On top of helping one review and reflect on their professional development, it also helps direct one's career and keeps their eyes on the set goals. Besides, it uncovers the gaps in one's capabilities and skills and helps them develop further (Ryan, 2003, p. 503). In this paper, I will reflect on the last seven years of my academic, professional, and personal life. I will also reflect on the next seven years of my academic, professional, and personal life.
