Is Car Maintenance CPD?

Roger,

Well, maybe. That's the real point is that you have to do your own reflection on wherewh it had developed you in any way. Improved presentation skills would certainly be a form of development, so you have to ask yourself whether they Jane improved as a result? 


​​​​​​But, regarding the actual topic matter, when you say it's a presentation on your (very) specialist skills, the question here is, is your presentation just a series of facts, or a presentation of the findings or outcomes of something you've done, or have you gone on to add to it in some way - that could include giving specific thought to what your audience will get from it, and how you can enhance that, or what lessons can be learnt from what you did, what's next, or even a commentary on what you think engineering (or the business, or operation that you were supporting, or the world at large) has gained from what you've done, whatwha can gain in the future, etc. ?


If your presentation didn't do any of that, if it was just a plain and simple delivery of facts, then I'll be bold and ask you why? Why not add something that yout it a step beyond a bald statement of facts? I'd be hard put to thint of any subject matterr that couldn't gain from that additional thought and attention. And by doing so, both only does it into worthwhile CPD for you but also more interesting for your audience.


And finally, if it really didn't add anything for you, then why did you do o?
