I. INTRODUCTION
In an era of rapid technological advancements and evolving professional
landscapes, the need for continuous learning and skill development has become more
critical than ever before. Information dissemination campaign for Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) and the CPD Accreditation System (CPDAS) aims
to highlight the significance of CPD and the role of an effective information
dissemination campaign in promoting its benefits through the CPDAS.
Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, is a structured and ongoing
process that allows professionals to enhance their knowledge, skills, and abilities
throughout their careers. It enables individuals to remain competent, adapt to industry
changes, and provide high-quality services to their clients or organizations. CPD
encompasses a wide range of learning activities, including workshops, conferences,
training programs, online courses, and self-directed learning, all of which contribute to
professional growth and expertise.
To ensure the quality and relevance of CPD activities, many professional bodies
and organizations have established the CPD Accreditation System, commonly known
as CPDAS. The CPDAS serves as a framework for evaluating and accrediting CPD
programs, ensuring they meet predefined standards and criteria. By undergoing CPDAS
accreditation, providers demonstrate their commitment to delivering valuable and
reputable CPD activities. This accreditation also assists professionals in identifying
credible and reliable CPD opportunities that align with their individual needs and
aspirations.
However, the success of CPD and CPDAS relies heavily on an efficient and
comprehensive information dissemination campaign. Such a campaign serves as a
catalyst for raising awareness, engaging professionals, and facilitating their
participation in CPD activities. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that professionals are
well-informed about the benefits of CPD, understand the accreditation process, and
have access to a diverse range of accredited programs. Through effective information
dissemination, professionals can make informed decisions about their career
development, maximize their potential, and stay ahead in their respective fields.

III. SEMINAR SYNOPSIS
1. WHAT IS CPD AND CPDAS?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It is a structured and
ongoing process that professionals engage in to enhance their knowledge, skills, and
abilities throughout their careers. CPD encompasses various learning activities and
experiences that aim to maintain and improve professional competence, ensuring that
professionals remain up-to-date with the latest advancements and best practices in their
fields.
CPD activities can include attending workshops, conferences, seminars, webinars,
training programs, completing online courses, participating in mentoring or coaching
programs, publishing articles, and engaging in self-directed learning. The goal of CPD
is to enable professionals to adapt to industry changes, meet regulatory requirements,
and deliver high-quality services or outcomes.
CPDAS, on the other hand, stands for CPD Accreditation System. It is a framework
established by professional bodies or organizations to evaluate and accredit CPD
programs. The CPDAS sets specific criteria and standards that CPD providers must
meet to ensure the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of their programs. Accreditation
by CPDAS enhances the credibility and recognition of CPD providers, assuring
professionals that the activities they engage in meet the defined standards of quality.
CPDAS accreditation typically involves a rigorous evaluation process where the
content, delivery methods, learning outcomes, and assessment strategies of CPD
programs are reviewed. By accrediting CPD activities, the CPDAS aims to ensure that
professionals have access to reliable and valuable learning opportunities that contribute
to their continuous development and professional growth.
