CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development and refers to a practical or online learning opportunity, such as a regional workshop, an FA conference, online courses, and webinars. These are delivered outside of any formal qualification pathway. 

Coaching, as both a vocation and a profession, never stands still. It’s always evolving and always seeking out the newest innovations, emerging trends and latest best practice. This is where CPD comes in. These events are not only crucial in exposing you as a coach to up-to-date thinking and methods, but they’ll also give you the skills needed to create and sustain modern learning environments for your players.
