Continuing Professional Education - Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors

Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (UK) approached the definition of CPD by ways of explaining each word in turn. It is (as follows):

  • continuing, because learning never ceases, regardless of age or seniority;
  • professional, because it is focused on professional competence in a professional role; and
  • concerned with development, because its goal is to improve personal performance and enhance career progression, which arguably is much wider than just formal training courses.

Famous quotes containing the words royal, institution and/or chartered:

    The captain sat in a commodore’s hat
    And dined in a royal way
    On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
    And gummery bread each day.

    La la la, Oh music swims back to me
    and I can feel the tune they played
    the night they left me
    in this private institution on a hill.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The chartered recountants take the thing to pieces and put it together again. They enjoy it. The artist takes it to pieces and makes a new thing, new things. He must.
