Professional Learning (CPL) cover the specific activities that
members of a professional body actively engage in to further their
knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities, relevant to the
contemporary theory, methods, and practice of that profession.
As professional planners, we live
and practice our profession in a knowledge economy that rewards
innovation and generates rapid change. Our employers, clients and
public have a growing need and expectation that Planners remain
current, participate in that innovation and provide positive
direction to direct that change.
