What is CPD?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills, and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional duties throughout your working life.
Why do translators and interpreters need CPD?
In common with members of other professional associations, translators and interpreters need to keep abreast of new working methods and knowledge. ITI is committed to promoting continuing professional development and has a duty to encourage all members to pursue CPD throughout their careers.
In order to become a Chartered Linguist, translators and interpreters will need to provide evidence of 2 years’ recent CPD. Keep your CPD Record in a safe place. Also keep copies of any supporting documentation and proof of attendance at courses and events.
What is the ITI CPD Record?
The ITI CPD Record is a booklet designed to help you record your training plans and activities over a three-year period. It can be downloaded from the link on this page.
How will recording CPD help me?
The CPD Record provides a handy visual record of training that you have undertaken in order to maintain or upgrade your skills. It may help towards chartered status and may be useful when registering for courses or applying to a new employer.
Is CPD compulsory?
ITI wishes to stress that CPD is voluntary – it is up to individuals to organise their own learning programme, to maintain their record year by year, and to update and extend their knowledge.
CPD benefits your career – record it!
