Introducing CPD Central: the online CPD resource for technical staff and managers across all sectors to enhance the standards of professionalism. CPD Central simplifies recording and reflection, whilst allowing connectivity and direction from supervisors to tie in key objectives that align to both work and non-work-based activities. CPD recording is an essential part of ongoing development and a requirement for the professional registers. Developed by the NTDC, this fantastic resource is available to IST members. Contact the office to receive access to your account.
