CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work, beyond any initial training. It’s a record of what you experience, learn and then apply.
In order to ensure all certified teaching professionals, tournament directors and officials maintain “Active Certified Status” based on their level of certification; there is a minimum continuing professional development requirement. This is critical to maintaining or developing your knowledge, problem-solving, technical skills or professional performance standards. SPA offers and endorses a variety of professional development opportunities including the Squash Summit, workshops, elite coaching, online courses and leadership opportunities.
All SPA members are required to complete 2 CPD credits per year.
