Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a term that describes the ongoing development of knowledge and skills for professionals, with a range of activities that can be defined as CPD including seminars, on-line training, workshops, and mentoring. Many businesses now consider CPD to be an essential part of staff learning while also meeting obligations within certain professions. Robertson Geo is now increasing the offer of free interactive seminars to relevant UK professionals and organisations who engage with geophysical borehole logging.
Individuals benefit from CPD by broadening their knowledge and keeping up to date with the latest technology, methods, and practices. CPD certification can also form an integral part of the path to chartered status.
It can be invaluable for businesses with increased in-house knowledge base and the provision of a framework for individuals to progress their careers. The progression of individuals within a company provides a synergistic benefit leading to higher standards and commitment from staff.
As a market leader, of some 40 years experience, providing geophysical logging services and equipment, Robertson Geo are keen to continue to engage with logging professionals. Based on the provision of market relevant Seminars that have been and continue to be provided to many organisations over the past five years Robertson Geo is now formalising the process for the delivery of CPD presentations in-house at the Client and for groups of six to thirty.
The seminars offered are highly technical, practical, and focussed and cover many aspects of the geophysical industry including equipment, methods, and procedures.
The seminars on offer are aimed at groups of individuals within organisations who are involved with borehole geophysical data collection. For geotechnical work this includes companies in civil engineering, consulting, design, drilling and ground investigation. Seminars will also be available for other industry sectors such as water, mining, and renewables.
The seminars are free of one-hour duration and will be provided on-site at client UK premises they will only be available to groups, not individuals. Group sizes may range from six to thirty individuals and the seminars are typically provided during lunchtime as this allows for better attendance. The only requirements from the client will be to have a large screen available for presenting material and to provide a list of attendees. The provision of lunch for attendees will be at the client’s discretion but is not discouraged.
Those attending the seminar will all receive an individual certificate confirming completion of the individual seminar, and as the material is highly specialised this is certified by Robertson Geo.
