It provides a thorough introduction to the concept of CPD, offering robust guidance on the strategies and advantages of identifying, planning, monitoring, acting upon, and documenting CPD activities. By bringing together theories, standards, professional and industry requirements, and contemporary discussions surrounding individual personal and professional development, the book offers a holistic perspective. Practical techniques and real-life best practice examples derived from within and outside the industry empower readers to take charge of their own built environment-related development, while also providing insights on how to develop fellow staff members. The book's contents are aligned with the requirements of numerous professional bodies, including the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), and the Chartered Institute of Builders (CIOB).

Designed to cater to the needs of current and aspiring built environment professionals, this book aims to assist in managing one's own CPD as well as overseeing the CPD of others. This includes supporting undergraduate and postgraduate students in fulfilling CPD requirements for modules as part of various built environment university degree courses, as well as current professionals at all levels and disciplines who seek to enhance their careers through personal and professional development, whether driven by professional body requirements or by taking control of identifying and fulfilling their educational needs.
