Open Dawes Training are a Swindon based training company, and we take the quality and benefits of our training incredibly serious; not least because the motivation for our coaching was to help people gain/increase their confidence and ability to allow their skills, knowledge, and opinions to be heard and support their ongoing development and achievements. As a result, we have invested in our training being assessed by the CPD Standards Office and are CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Certified.
This helps our candidates to have confidence in the training, coaching, and mentoring services that we provide, and for those who have requirements to earn CPD Credits each year to continue/track their training and development to earn them from developing a skill set that can not only enhance what you already do, but also open doors that you may not even know exist yet.
The list of course or coaching that we are able to provide are listed at the foot of this page and can be provided to individuals (1-to-1 or group) or internally within an organisation (1-to-1 or internal group).
CPD Standards Office summarise CPD as follows:
"Across the UK workforce, CPD is expected of most individual professionals in most sectors. It is generally governed by sector-specific professional bodies or regulators. Employers also increasingly expect their staff to undertake CPD, and may even measure them on it.
Anyone who is a member of a professional body is likely to have CPD requirements laid out for them by the body, rather than by their employer. There are currently over 1,400 professional bodies, institutes and membership associations nationally in the UK. They represent all industries and professions, and all have CPD policies known as CPD schemes.
Anyone who works within a sector that is formally regulated (e.g. by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or Financial Conduct Authority), is likely to be required to track and progress their CPD in order to maintain their license to practice or professional qualifications. Regulatory bodies are established to ensure that the public receives services of the required standard, so CPD is taken very seriously.
Employers will often support with CPD, and may even contribute to CPD plans. However, the onus is very much on the individual to source CPD training activities that meet their personal learning needs and objectives."
