CONTINUED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT



UNIT 4.3
ITS LIKE EVOLUTION!!! 
CONTINUED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CDP) - Partaking in different, activities either within the workplace or outside of your occupation to increase your skills and character to up the ante of your employability in your chosen professional endeavours.

Ways and examples of this could be taking a Fire marshall course to fufill health and safety requirements in the workplace or having time in different departments. Such as being a Junior office assistant (LIKE ME :D) and spending time with the accountant to learn how the accounting systems works to garner knowledge for the evolution of your role.


 But CPD (it sounds like a disease) is not restricted to spending all your evenings doing courses on safety and the like. Almost any positive or negative experience (no not going out and getting smashed) can be linked to CDP, whether it could be something simpler like taking part in a football team on weekends or being part of an online gaming community such as a "clan"(explained in my Unit 8 post)  to improve your confidence and teamwork ethics bringing lessons from all aspects of your life to the professional.

To give more context, which is incredibly important and something to which I have been given feedback upon to give readers of my blog more of.  (see, here I am contributing to my own CDP right now) Is the director Uwe Boll.

This is basically what this man is trying to say with all his movies...


 Attempting to learn from his first directional bombs Bloodrayne (4%) and Alone in the Dark (1%) to create now not-so-bad- but incredibly boring averagely shot piece Ala his "epic" Dungeon Siege.




He has continued his CDP by learning from his past mistakes to (only slightly) improve his directorial abilities,  going from a laughably bad cult director whose films were the butt of the critical world to that of a man whose can just about pass as a filmmaker, If a very boring one. (CDP development can sometimes sap your target market if your career is based on being terrible).

  1. I like how you brought in references from industry professionals and how they continue to practise CPD. :)
