Missed of the poster-Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

CPD is where someone learns new technologies, programs and equipment use in there field of work to allow them to progress with there field. In animation, its the programs that are used that will change and develop over time so every time a new version of the program you use comes out you have to learn to use it. Sometimes you will need to use a completely new program, this will require being taught to use the program. There are many courses for almost all professional programs, the problem is most companys will not fund you to take these courses so the cost has to be covered by you. This is often in the £1000-£3000 price range and requires traveling to major cities like London and paying for accommodation for a week. However if you cant afford this, internet courses can be as little as £40 and good ones can only be about £200.
