It is good practice across the sector for instructors, teachers,
managers and leaders in the outdoors to engage in a range of
on-going CPD activities.
CPD supports you in being professional in your approach, whether
working full-time or part-role in the outdoors, or in a voluntary
capacity. Many membership bodies, awarding bodies and national
governing bodies of sports (NGBs) require CPD to keep awards current
or as a condition of membership. IOL strongly recommends regular
annual CPD.
