Qualifications are for life but they can go out of date if you don't keep your knowledge and skills up-to-date. In a dynamic environment like this, you can't afford to be complacent. One of the main benefits of association membership is being part of the continued personal development (CPD) programme.
Continued personal development (CPD) is the means by which members maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and skills and develop the personal qualities required when using their awards. The Mountain Training Association encourages good practice and supports members in being professional in their approach and believes that the CPD process is vital for all members, whether working full time in the outdoors or using the awards in a voluntary capacity. Full members commit to gaining two CPD points, which roughly equates to two days, in a five year period.
The Mountain Training Association has a diverse programme of workshops, conferences and regional events planned throughout the year, providing opportunities to update, refresh and enhance your skills. This programme of
workshops support the associations' CPD policy for
full members (i.e. members that hold a Mountain Training qualification) and provides development opportunities for
all members.
