What is MicroCPD?

MicroCPD is a concise learning programme designed to deliver targeted knowledge and skills within a short time frame. Any short course, training programme or learning event lasting no more than 6 hours qualifies as MicroCPD. MicroCPD may be delivered in-person, digitally online, or in a blended format.

Official Definition
