The Institute of Continuing Professional Development (ICPD, or CPD Institute) is an institute concerned with continuing professional development (CPD) in the United Kingdom.[1] It provides CPD qualifications.[2]
The institute has defined CPD to be:
a process by which a professional person maintains the quality and relevance of professional services throughout his/her life.[3]
The ICPD is part of The Harris Foundation for Lifelong Learning (previously the Continuing Professional Development Foundation),[4] an educational non-profit charitable trust that has provided CPD since 1981, based in London, England.[5] The institute has corporate affiliates.[6] A Fellow of the institute can use the post-nominal FInstCPD. In 2008, a new "Member" grade was launched.[7]
