Continuing Professional Development- CPD, is the ongoing process of 

developing, maintaining, and documenting your professional skills. These skills 

may be gained formally, through courses or training, or informally, on the job 

or by watching others. 

Some professions use the term 'continuing professional development’ formally 

and require a certain amount of development activity to be carried out and 

documented each year as a condition of maintaining your membership of, or 

registration with, a professional body, or a license to operate in that field. In 

other areas, CPD is used more informally. A commitment to learning and 

improving is, however, generally expected of anyone in a professional capacity. 

FOR ORGANIZATIONS: In today’s testing business environment, with 

organizational transformation and regulatory change constant features, a 

flexible and cost-effective workforce is critical. High-quality training is a 

crucial element of innovative talent management, to improve performance and 

ensure your teams can respond to today’s challenges and are equipped for 

career success. 

FOR INDIVIDUALS: Engaging in Continuing Professional Development 

ensures that both academic and practical qualifications do not become 

outdated or obsolete; allowing individuals to continually ‘up skill’ or ‘re-skill’ 

themselves, regardless of occupation, age, or educational level. CPD enables 

individuals to positively adjust to changes in work/industry requirements while 

also demonstrating a strong commitment to self-development and 

professionalism.

A MANAGER’S SECRET SUPERPOWER 


EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR 

MANAGERS & SUPERVISORS 


Communication is vital to management. Whether working for a manufacturer, 

restaurant, service firm, hospital, or software developer, somewhere between 70-90% 

of a manager's time is spent communicating. Organizational decisions are highly 

dependent on the quality and quantity of information being exchanged. Poor or 

incomplete information can negatively impact a manager's ability to successfully make 

decisions. 

This training course helps managerial employees and supervisors better understand 

the importance of communication skills in management and improve their own 

communication skills. The session assists participants in developing the confidence 

and competence they need to communicate with ease, influence others to achieve 

desired results, and have a lasting impact on the people around them. 


The perfect audience for this seminar would be managers, organizational/team 

leaders, supervisors, rising managers & supervisors, executives, and anyone else in 

charge of managing others.

HOW TO LEAD AND WIN 


THE RESILIENT LEADER: A NEW WAY OF 

SEEING, THINKING AND LEADING 


When we think about “successful” or “unsuccessful” people, we often relate their success to 

their ability to bounce back from challenging situations. Resilience, which is our ability to 

frame setbacks as learning opportunities and manage our emotional responses to stress, 

has been linked to increased work satisfaction, lower levels of depression, and overall wellbeing. 

The ability to embrace uncertainty, navigate ambiguity, and use adversity as a tool for growth 

are the new leadership currency and the fastest path to resilience. Resilient leaders 

personalize their approach, tapping into the unique strengths and motivators of team 

members. They cultivate emotional intelligence and strong relationships, and they facilitate 

learning and personal development through everyday experiences. 

The program provides workplace leaders with the knowledge and resources they need to 

identify and implement a practical resilience framework. Participants explore the 

importance of modelling resilient behaviours and develop strategies to support themselves 

& their team to sustain high performance and respond more effectively to workplace change. 


This training course is designed for executive/team leaders, managers, supervisors, who 

implement strategy, manage teams, and implement large-scale changes.

THE NEXT ERA OF SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING 


EU CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING 



The future of corporate sustainability reporting is taking shape. At the end of November 2022, the 

European Union Council gave its final approval to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive 

(CSRD)1 and the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group delivered the first set of draft European 

Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to the European Commission. With these measures, the EU 

aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy. Under the new CSRD regulation, 

companies will soon be required to publish detailed information on sustainability matters. This will 

increase a company’s accountability for its impacts on the environment and society, and provide 

financial institutions with comparable, verified information on sustainability performance that should 

facilitate allocation of finance to sustainable activities. The measures should also equip companies 

for implementing their own sustainability agenda. They can only make progress if they know where 

they stand – relative to their ambitions as well as their peers – and where they can improve. 

This session will provide you with a comprehensive guide to the CSRD and will ensure that you are 

aware of the latest requirements in Corporate Governance issues. Consideration will be given to the 

background to the CSRD, including the EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive 2014 (2014/95/EU), as 

well as the impact of the EU Taxonomy Regulation as per EU Green Deal (2019) 


This course is ideal for accountants, managers and all other professionals who are involved the ESG 

and Sustainability reporting cycle within a large company in Europe or foreign entities acting in 

Europe or who more broadly engage with impact and sustainability.

UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF FINANCIAL REPORTS 


FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS 


Financial analysis plays a crucial role in the success of businesses by providing insights into a 

company's financial health. Financial statement analysis is a key component of financial analysis that 

enables businesses to evaluate their financial performance, identify areas for improvement, and make 

informed decisions. 

This course focuses on financial analysis which is a major section of the CFA exam. This starts with 

accounting systems and how they differ around the world as investment advisors need to understand 

these nuances. It will also cover financial statements like the income statement, the balance sheet, 

and the statement of cash flows. CFA exam takers should understand the tools of finance such as 

ratio analysis as well as accounting though, so it will cover how financials are presented, accounting 

treatment of capitalized costs and other accounting concepts as applied to finance. 


This course has been designed for professionals interested in understanding, analyzing, and using 

financial reports, including, but not limited to, finance and accounting professionals, financial analysts 

and engineers, as well as people working within banks, sales, procurement, contracts, credit risk, 

public relations management, and those engaged in speculative trading in shares and securities. In 

general, the most beneficiaries of this course are those who have limited experience of accounting 

and financial analysis and wish to enrich their knowledge and skillset.

HOW TO LEAD AND WIN 


THE RESILIENT LEADER: A NEW WAY OF 

SEEING, THINKING AND LEADING 


When we think about “successful” or “unsuccessful” people, we often relate their success to 

their ability to bounce back from challenging situations. Resilience, which is our ability to 

frame setbacks as learning opportunities and manage our emotional responses to stress, 

has been linked to increased work satisfaction, lower levels of depression, and overall wellbeing. 

The ability to embrace uncertainty, navigate ambiguity, and use adversity as a tool for growth 

are the new leadership currency and the fastest path to resilience. Resilient leaders 

personalize their approach, tapping into the unique strengths and motivators of team 

members. They cultivate emotional intelligence and strong relationships, and they facilitate 

learning and personal development through everyday experiences. 

The program provides workplace leaders with the knowledge and resources they need to 

identify and implement a practical resilience framework. Participants explore the 

importance of modelling resilient behaviours and develop strategies to support themselves 

& their team to sustain high performance and respond more effectively to workplace change. 


This training course is designed for executive/team leaders, managers, supervisors, who 

implement strategy, manage teams, and implement large-scale changes.

A STRATEGY AND A RESPONSIBILITY 


MANAGING MENTAL HEALTH & 

WELLBEING AT THE WORKPLACE 


The dictionary definition of wellbeing is “The state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy.” 

It’s understandable, then, that wellbeing is a term which is increasingly used these days - 

after all, we all want to be healthy and happy. When we talk about wellbeing, it can either 

be physical or mental. Both are equally important, yet mental health often gets overlooked. 

Perhaps this is because physical wellbeing is easier to gauge. It’s easy to tell if your 

colleague is ill, whereas it’s less obvious if someone is struggling with mental health issues. 

Additionally, although things have improved considerably, there is still a stigma 

surrounding mental health. In fact, a recent survey found employees are three times more 

inclined to talk about their physical health than their mental health at work. 

This comprehensive workshop equips managers and leaders with the knowledge, skills, 

tools and confidence to enable the wellbeing of their team, through understanding mental 

health, learning how to nurture a positive environment, spotting early signs of common 

conditions and having the confidence to respond appropriately. 


This course is designed for: Human Resources, Marketing, Sales, Financial, Accounting, 

Technology, Operations, Back Office, Call Centre, Customer Support; People Managers and 

Team Leaders.

WHAT SHOULD THE BUSINESS KNOW? 


SANCTIONS ESSENTIALS OF 

COMPLIANCE 


Failure to comply with sanctions entails risks and challenges for a business. Regulations 

are continually changing in response to changing geopolitical events. Therefore, developing 

up to date, essential understanding of sanctions compliance requirements is crucial to 

ensure that your firm complies with local &/or international regulations. One of the main 

challenges professionals are faced with, is to not knowingly or unknowingly provide 

sanctioned individuals/entities with tools that make possible the evasion of sanctions. The 

basic idea behind how to handle sanctioned individuals and entities is clear and easy to 

understand, but the details behind the risks and threats that may arise for a firm are 

significant. 

This webinar will introduce you to the principles underpinning a successful sanctions 

compliance program and help you to understand your own unique risk and the controls that 

need to be applied. 


This training course is designed for Compliance officers, Auditors, Risk Management Staff, 

Accountants, Lawyers, Fund Managers, Fiduciary service providers, Bank employees, Tax 

advisors, Real Estate Agents, Virtual Asset Service Providers.
