CPPD
The Trading Standards Institute is committed to empowering members of the profession. TSI wants you to maximise your learning and development opportunities and to achieve your full potential.
Your responsibility
As a professional you have a personal responsibility to maintain your competence. Therefore you are encouraged to participate in the Continuous Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) scheme. This also helps you fulfil your obligations under the Institute’s code of conduct.
The purpose
The CPPD scheme has three complementary purposes:
- To enable you to develop your knowledge, skills and experience for your present role and any potential future roles.
- To demonstrate to your employer that you have planned, updated and maintained your knowledge, skills and experience in a structured manner.
- To provide a means for your employer to demonstrate that you are professionally competent. This information is recorded in a retrievable manner.
Our responsibility
In response to this TSI has a responsibility to invest resources in assisting you to meet these development commitments. The scheme is inclusive of all trading standards professionals. It is voluntary and is at no cost to you as a member.
Non TSI members
Non Members are invited to participate in the scheme (provided they fulfil the necessary requirements - see section 2 of the CPPD handbook). The annual cost for non-members is £120 (plus VAT at 15%).
Alternatively you may consider joining TSI (if eligible) and along with CPPD enjoy the various benefits that membership brings.
