CPD
(CPD) Continuing Professional Development
Why is it needed
Many professional organisations and institutes have within their rules or constitutions, that members should (a must) continue with their professional education on a regular basis, once they have finished their initial training.
Due to the activities of the European government there is an uncertainty within complementary medicine, thus we feel that it is most important that our members are seen to be maintain the highest professional standards. CPD is a way in which we can work towards in achieving that, and here at Le Monde Nouveau we have implemented a system whereas all our members continually update their education, within the fields of complementary & alternative medicine, self development, spiritual development, and by also undertaking counseling skills course to give a foundation on which to build.
The Benefits of CPD
CPD is a way in which we can establish that each member is continuing to improve their education and skills, both practical and theory, not just in a specified field, but also in a broader horizon. By this one does not stagnate and come to an halt, we encourage all our students and members to continue to grow, to expand their horizons which in turn will enhance ones knowledge and practice.
Each member will have a personal record here at Le Monde Nouveau, which will hold all recorded documentation that allows one to see there commitment to continuing their education and broadening their horizons.
