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.
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.
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.
