Simulation & Training Suite - Sponsored by Lockheed Martin:

Dear Industry Colleague,

JOINT FORCES SIMULATION & TRAINING 2010 is the perfect opportunity to address current evolving simulation and training requirements and the future challenges within the global defence community.

Existing and emerging nations continue to play their part in the Contemporary Operating Environment (COE) and this conference will examine the constant evolution of simulation and training requirements in the world of defence.

The event brings together key senior military experts, training architects and leading industry members and decision makers from around the globe. Networking and sharing with such distinguished international speakers and attendees will update you on new technologies and gaming solutions, global operational training needs and lessons learned from different countries to hopefully implement new ways of training in the future.

Lockheed Martin STS understand that the challenges are great within the current defence world, given the constant challenge of the war in Afghanistan and the global economic effects on the world economy. We believe that it is the right time to think about how we can Reinvent How People Prepare For Their Tomorrow™ and are proud to be the lead sponsor of this event to do exactly that.

I look forward to welcoming you to the conference.

Nick Mellor
Regional Director International Market Development


During the conference Lockheed Martin will be offering all attendees the opportunity to gain a hands-on opportunity to engage with their range of simulation & training equipment. Lockheed Martin’s Simulation & Training Suite will show you why military units around the world are turning increasingly to total training systems that give their troops the edge. Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training & Support is developing the highest level of realistic training possible to give forces the key

    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.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
