Introduction to CPD
CPD is a lifelong learning commitment in an on-going and measurable development process to maintain current competency levels and acquire new knowledge and skills related to one's profession. CPD also involves the development of personal qualities necessary in the wider aspect of exercising one's career, e.g. management skills.
The ICFF's responsibility as a professional body in relation to CPD is to develop, monitor and enforce standards that ensure the continuous development and maintenance of professional competence of professionals in Customs and Freight Forwarding as well as broader logistics field.
