CIFA & the CPD Certification Service.
The CPD certification service independently scrutinises and evaluates CIFA’S professional certifications to ensure they are of the highest quality. This means CIFA courses comply with universally accepted principles of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and have been structured to meet the criteria of personal and professional development plans.
What is CPD?
Continuing Professional Development is the process of continuing to learn and update your skills and knowledge in your professional field throughout your career. CPD certification is often required by professional organisations and regulatory bodies in order to maintain professional licences or certifications. It demonstrates to employers and clients that you are committed to staying up-to-date in your field and maintaining the highest standards of professionalism.
The Importance of CPD
Employers and hiring managers actively look for candidates that have enhanced professional knowledge. Today's job market is so competitive that simply having a university degree is no longer enough! Studying continuing professional development courses in your field increases the chances of being successfully selected to attend interviews. Post academic professional certifications are highly sought after by high end finance and investment institutions.
Empower your career
CPD has been the key to unlocking the door to promotions and achieving the interviews that enable graduates to successfully start their careers. CPD has helped thousands of professionals across various sectors achieve higher salaries and gain promotions. Each hour of CPD is converted into a point. The more CPD points/hours logged increases your professional standing within your field.
