A Continuing Professional Development (CPD) ‘first’ was achieved recently with DSA certificates being handed out. The majority of attendees at the DSA Business Customer Conference (BCC) in Chorley took the opportunity to receive a certificate to confirm their attendance at the event.
Nigel Harries, Deputy Chief Driving Examiner and Charles Morton, Registrar were on hand throughout the day to provide certificates and to answer questions.
The certificate recognises the role that conferences such as the BCC can play in CPD. There is growing interest in what CPD means for individuals. After all, it is about formal and informal development, based on an individual’s understanding of the benefits to them. In a nutshell, it is a commitment to being professional, keeping up to date and continually seeking to improve.
The CPD working group has a DSA / cross-industry membership and they met earlier this week to report on progress to date. The input from the team is extremely positive and is helping to form proposals for steering group consideration (9th April) and future wider consultation.

Any comments from driving instructors who are members of BADDIA (Bedford and District Driving Instructors Association) giving driving lessons in Bedford?
