What is PD?
Click here for the Professional Development Brochure
Professional Development (PD) addresses the need for lifelong learning in the workplace / professional environment. PIA’s PD policy has been revised, effective from July 2006, alongside the introduction of the Certified Practising Planner (CPP) initiative. From that time PD is compulsory for PIA Corporate members and is strongly recommended for all other PIA members.
PD is any activity which extends or updates professional knowledge, skills or judgement, develops skills complementary to professional planning, and maintains professional competence. PD provides the means for being more productive, understanding and applying technological advances, preparing for employment/career changes and meeting the quality of service and professional competence which the public expects. It embraces not only the technical aspects of planning – it also includes soft skills, such as management, business skills, problem solving, policy development, technologies, etc.
