The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) settings allow administrators to build, manage, and track formal learning requirements across your organisation, which is essential for meeting professional accreditation and compliance needs. From this page, you can configure programmes, set mandatory hours per category, define audience requirements, and link platform content to CPD goals.
Configuring CPD
Adding CPD Categories
Categories represent the professional development areas (for example, Coaching, IOSH) that learners will select when logging their off-platform CPD activity.
From the Thrive menu, go to Configure > CPD.
Under CATEGORIES, click Add categories.
Enter a Name of category.
Click ADD.
Repeat this process as necessary to add all required categories.
Defining Audience Requirements
Define which user groups need to complete CPD and specify their required hours:
Click Add audience requirement.
Search for the Audience you want to assign the CPD to.
Give the requirement a CPD Name (such as “Annual Leadership Development”).
Enter the Start Date (typically 1st January for annual cycles).
Enter the Hours required to complete the CPD.
Click ADD.
The CPD will now appear on the user’s CPD dashboard in the Learn area.
Endorse Content for Credit
To make existing Thrive content (like articles or courses) count toward a learner's required CPD hours, you must endorse it.
Go to the content item you want to include in CPD.
Click the Endorse button on that content.
In the new window, select the relevant CPD category.
The content is now endorsed and will count towards a learner’s required CPD hours.
Note:
The duration of the content, which determines the credited time, must be set in the content's general settings.
