# CPD

**Continuing Professional Development (CPD)** is your personal hub for tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge, and experience you gain as a professional. This is essential for meeting any mandatory professional requirements and maintaining your continuous learning journey.

> [!WARNING]
> Important:
> 
> Your admin must set up CPD for your audience before you can access your CPD dashboard.

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> This feature is not available for the [Thrive Mobile App](/v1/docs/thrive-mobile-app) and can only be accessed using the Thrive Web App.

## CPD Dashboard Overview

Your CPD dashboard provides a complete, real-time overview of your progress:

- **Progress Tracking:** See your hours completed for the selected CPD year, the total required hours, and the time remaining until your deadline.
- **Historical Data:** View any CPD completed in previous years using the date dropdown at the top-right of the dashboard.
- **Automatic Tracking:** All endorsed content you complete on Thrive is automatically logged.

## Logging Off-Platform CPD Activity

1. From the Thrive menu, go to **Learn** > **CPD**.
2. Click **+ Add activity**.
3. In the new window, **Name your activity**.
4. Enter the relevant CPD **Category** (for example, **Coaching**, **Conference Speaker**).
5. Provide a **Description** of the activity.
6. Enter the **Date** it was completed.
7. Enter the **Duration** in hours (**h**) and minutes (**m**) of the activity.
8. Click **Add**.

Once logged, the activity will immediately appear in your current year's record, and your overall CPD progress will update.

Tracking refers to the process of sending a grade or completion status to Thrive when a learner reaches a specific point. It can also involve bookmarking a point in the course, allowing the learner to return and continue from where they left off.
