Professional touch for BIFA event
[ May 29, 2024 // Chris Lewis ]A recent event in the British International Freight Association’s Young Forwarder Network (YFN) programme was the first to be accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Guest speaker, PC Matthew Bate gave a presentation about combating international vehicle crime.
BIFA member services director, Carl Hobbis, who has management responsibility for the trade association’s training and development services explained: “Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the term used to describe the learning activities in which professionals engage to develop and enhance their abilities. There is an increasing expectation and desire from BIFA members and their employees to undertake CPD regardless of career level, job role and responsibilities.”
He said that BIFA’s ambition was to add a professional touch by fitting some of them to the CPD structure and guidelines, including specific learning objectives. This means that BIFA can now display the certified CPD logo on all approved events and CPD attendance certificates can be issued to delegates for their own CPD purposes.
