What is Continuing Professional Development?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you go about your work beyond any initial training. It is a record of what you experience, learn and then apply.
CPD and IHMA
IHMA is developing a set of international occupational standards that will help harbour masters around the world assess their competence and support their career development.
Participating in IHMA CPD will help you:
- Measure your competence against the relevant skills, knowledge and understanding necessary for each International Occupational Standard
- Plan and record your professional development
- Plan and achieve your career goals by focusing on your training and development
- Demonstrate your career development to clients and employers.
IHMA recognizes that some countries already have well developed CPD schemes for harbour masters. IHMA CPD is designed to support harbour masters in countries where there is no national scheme currently available and who are members of IHMA.
