It was interesting to see some of the discussions a little while a go on the LIS Serves around continuing professional development. Over the past few months TFPL has been working towards gaining external accreditation for our courses and have recently been awarded certified status with CPD UK. This organisation is an independent accreditation body that provides a standard level of assessment on learning and development activity within the UK.
For clients who are following a professional development unit scheme within their organisation, any learning achieved via attendance at one of our courses or events will count towards their continuous professional development plan and can be used in appraisals.
We have a brand new programme out for 2010 with lots of new additions plus refreshed content on some old favourites. Key topics we think will be important for next year include – getting to grips with what advantages and challenges social media tools are going to provide us with from copyright issues to collaborative working and better presence and promotion of an organisation, SharePoint the continuing debate on records management and what SharePoint 2010 will bring and Digital Preservation, how to go about it and techniques to use. As always we are keen to hear comments and suggestions for topic areas on courses do drop me a line if you have any thoughts.
