What is CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It is the ongoing, structured learning that professionals complete to keep their knowledge and skills current throughout their careers. Completing accredited training and logging the hours keeps your professional development record up to date for inspections and audits.

Phoenix STS holds CPD accreditation through the CPD Standards Office (CPDSO), an independent body that accredits providers of CPD training. In plain terms, our courses are formally accredited, so the certificate your team receives is recognised by employers, regulators and insurance providers across Ireland. Courses cover fire safety, health and safety, first aid and manual handling, delivered on site at your premises or online.

We also offer a full catalogue of online courses you can complete at your own pace.

Our CPD-Accredited Courses
