Realisation of the Future Smart Grid

  

“Best one this year on smart grids”

Cristiano Marantes, UK Power Networks, SAE Media Group’s second annual Realisation of the Future Smart Grid conference, 2011

 

“Very good.”

Bill Brown, Practice Director, UK, Ireland and the Nordics, Oracle

 

“SAE Media Group’s quality of speakers was very good”

Diyar Kidar, Technology Manager, Scottish Power

 

“Well organised and good spread of speakers”

Alan Creighton, Senior Asset Management Engineer, CE Electric UK

 

 

With European Smart Grid spending to hit $80 billion by 2020, and smart meter deployments hitting 240 million within the same period, SAE Media Group’s third annual conference will again be an essential and timely event to attend in 2012.

To meet the needs of all key stakeholders in this growing market, the event will offer a complete UK and European DNO overview on the state of research, future regulatory standards, technical solutions and current experience in the field of intelligent energy networks. The conference will also cover the latest updates on the second tier LCNF update in the UK.

Packed with case studies and practical examples, the event will also cover the economic, regulatory, legal, industrial, and social implications arising from moving to a low carbon, sustainable energy generation and consumption model.

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
