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.
Latest News & Events
Longitude, an LOC Group Company, announce on 22 January that it has been awarded the contract for the Trinity House Vessel Replacement Project Technical Specialist.
This agreement will, it is understood, see Longitude work on the requirements definition and tender specification for the Trinity House new aids to navigation service vessel. Support will then continue through the procurement and build phases of the contract, with the end goal of delivering a vessel to replace THV Patricia commissioned in 1982.
Longitude will provide a conceptual design of the vessel to Trinity House, to facilitate a thorough analysis of the vessel’s requirements, and look into incorporating new technologies, including hybrid systems. Once the design phase is complete, Longitude will work alongside the chosen shipyard to ensure that the design and build phases are successfully executed and that the end product is in accordance with Trinity House requirements.
Work is well advanced with our Congress two months away.
