It includes more than just learning in a classroom; seminars, conferences, training workshops, discussing ideas and shadowing fall under CPD.&nbsp; These methods are designed to help enhance both personal and professional skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a way of planning development that links learning directly to practice, CPD is considered an investment one makes in oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bayut.com\/agentportal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Continuous-Professional-Development-_-Body-10-8-22-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bayut.com\/agentportal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Continuous-Professional-Development-_-Body-10-8-22-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bayut.com\/agentportal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Continuous-Professional-Development-_-Body-10-8-22-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bayut.com\/agentportal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Continuous-Professional-Development-_-Body-10-8-22-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bayut.com\/agentportal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Continuous-Professional-Development-_-Body-10-8-22-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.bayut.com\/agentportal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Continuous-Professional-Development-_-Body-10-8-22.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>CPDs can hone the skills that can take your career to the next level<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>CPD might not be a formal qualification, nor does it involve learning the academics behind your area of expertise.
