Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), CPD should:

- be the responsibility of the individual learner to own and manage
- be driven by the learning needs and development of the individual
- be evaluative rather than descriptive of what has taken place
- be an essential component of professional and personal life, never an optional extra
