CPD - making the most of your 9-5 time
Did you realise that there are abundant learning opportunities in your workplace which can contribute towards your CPD? |
CPD activity undertaken for ACCA Realise should be relevant to your job and/or your career aspirations. By focusing on learning at work, you can easily meet the CPD requirement – and enjoy a more conscious, profitable learning environment at work into the bargain.
Learning – back to basics
Being coached or signing up for an online course are obvious choices for work-based learning. But consider the following examples:
1. Reading
Magazines and newsletters – and their online versions – can add richly to your knowledge. But don’t just take advantage of technical updates available in accounting & business. Trade journals for your industry sector can also provide invaluable intelligence to help you understand organisational challenges and think more laterally about how finance can contribute. If you have left accountancy and finance, it’s all the more important to look for news and views about your chosen field. To help you achieve CPD through regular reading, why not subscribe to newsfeeds and e-mail updates – many are free.
