So you know what your training needs are - what next? There are a wide variety of training opportunities available through the Doctoral College, your academic College, the wider University and the GW4 Alliance. Continuing professional development CPD is a cycle Continuing professional development is a repeated cycle of activity that involves much more than attending a training session. That's why you revisit your Training Needs Analysis at least once a year.
