Equivalent to 14.5 hours of CPD
Continuing Professional Development - usually abbreviated to CPD - is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. CPD hours (or points) are a way of measuring time and quality of learning. Points can be collected in a personal portfolio allowing participants to track their professional development and progression. CPD-accredited training can assist participants in honing their current skills, developing them to a new level or it could mean learning entirely new ones.
Following the scheduled two days at Pilz HQ for the CEFS course there is a 40 minute examination that delegates will need to complete to obtain the TÜV NORD certification - this exam will be sat in-house.
Times of the exam, to be sat on the third day, will be confirmed nearer the scheduled start dates.
