CPD (Continuing Professional Development)

Alongside the exhibition there will be FREE to attend educational workshops. All of the workshops offered at The Big 5 Solar, part of The Big 5, are CPD-certified.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the term used to describe the commitment to lifelong learning. Employers and institutions across industries are increasingly adopting a more structured approach to learning in order to retain key staff and develop the skills and knowledge in the organisation to maintain a sustainable and competitive advantage.

– Why is CPD accreditation important?
CPD accreditation is important because it ensures that courses provided adhere to the highest educational standards and international benchmarks of quality and learning.
– How does it work?
There is no fixed approach to CPD and different professional institutes and associations will have their own interpretation of courses and requirements. The majority set an annual target, which is defined by the accrual of CPD hours through attending training, seminars, workshops and conferences. These CPD hours are then converted to points, units or credits. It is up to the individual to keep track of their hours, ensure their CPD records are up-to-date and that the courses meet the requirements of their professional body or association.
– What are the CPD benefits?
CPD benefits individuals by fostering a culture of continuous personal improvement, skills development and knowledge sharing. It helps to ensure that individuals are kept informed, up-skilled and proficient to change in practice. CPD-certified training, seminars, workshops and conferences are also a significant benefit to those constricted by time, resource and budget as they can offer an affordable, time-efficient opportunity to develop skills and knowledge.

GCC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

As of June 7th, 2018, the UAE government have introduced sweeping changes to boost growth in the economy, and make doing business in the region easier and more cost effective.

WHY NOW IS THE TIME TO DO BUSINESS IN THE UAE

• The new Dh50 billion stimulus plan for Abu Dhabi:
A three year package designed to stimulate growth will help lift gross domestic product growth, increase consumption and revitalise the property market as the Government takes advantage of high oil prices to finance economic expansion.
• Introduction of foreign ownership of companies:
Foreign investors will be able to fully own a company in the UAE, a significant departure from the current policy that restricts foreigners to a 49 per cent stake in entities based outside designated free zones.
• Abu Dhabi and Dubai waive corporate fines to boost growth:
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are exempting companies from administrative fines for at least the rest of the year, as part of efforts to stimulate business growth and economic development. This decree is a positive step in promoting economic growth and consolidating Dubai’s position as one of the most important commercial and economic centres internationally.
• New Visa regulations:
As expats under certain job titles are now offered 10 year residency visas, the move looks to welcome more companies to the region.

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THIS CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY?

Due to the high volume of investment into the economy, the construction market is one that will benefit most as the stimulus will cover infrastructure and legislative projects, small and medium-sized enterprises and industrial and social projects.
