Global Milsatcom 2001
Analyse the latest developments in satellite technology and the importance of information superiority for military communications…

Keeping up to date with the latest developments within the satellite communications market can be very time consuming. At SAE Media Group’s forthcoming 3rd Annual Global Military Satellite Communications conference, taking place on the 22nd & 23rd October 2001, at The Hatton in London, we have done the research for you. We have selected international experts to present case studies on the issues that matter to you. The conference will cover topics including:

· Upgrades & network modernisation & management

· TranSAE Media Groupssion capabilities & information superiority

· Country specific requirements & programs

· Military satellite communication systems

· Ground-based receivers & tranSAE Media Grouptters

· The role of commercial satellite owners

· Procurement programs

· Emerging technologies

· Terminals & migration issues

And what’s more, by attending this conference, all your knowledge and networking requirements can be completed in just two days! And with lunches promoting open discussion, this will give you the vital time to discuss market developments and potential while exchanging industry specific knowledge.

In addition we are also holding a Telecoms in Defence conference which will address the latest telecom requirements for the defence industry. Ensure you are up-to-date with rapidly evolving telecom technology, by attending this conference on 24th October 2001 at the Hatton, in London.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
