Upskill with CPD full & part time courses in Waterford this Summer - lifelong learning and Continuous Professional Development are more important than ever before.

Business and technologies are always changing and change fast, so now more than ever it is important for employees to upskill. The days of completing education once and for all are well and truly behind us. Many adult learners no matter how established they are in their career need to maintain their professional standards by taking on a CPD (continuing professional development) course.

It is also a wise investment in oneself and one that is proactively supported by many businesses. In fact, businesses that proactively operate CPD initiatives know the importance of refreshing the knowledge and skills held within their workforce as it leads to increased productivity and maintains staff motivation and loyalty.

Many of Pitman Training courses in their Waterford training centre are accredited by the CPD standards office so on successful completion of your training you can obtain a certificate to verify the number of CPD points you have gained.
