Continual Professional Development

​Introducing Continual Professional Development (CPD)

As part of our ongoing commitment to being the best at our chosen profession we are rolling out a Continual Professional Development or “CPD” system for all members of the IPDGA starting in January 2019. CPD is important for us to keep up to date with current trends and methods within our industry and is now standard practice in all professional careers.  You will now have the opportunity to earn points for all your hard work and dedication throughout the year.

Each year you will receive a certificate and a sticker and your profile on the IPDGA public page will also display a label to show your achievement.
Historical achievements will also be recognised.
