Building the CPD System you need Today

Physiotherapy Australia - New Zealand

From physiotherapy to any industry, PD able makes it possible to create a structured CPD system around your standards, requirements and the way your profession works.
What used to take months and a team of specialist can now be done in a day and cost nothing to build.
Background
Professional development looks different across every industry.
Registered professionals may have specific CPD requirements, professional standards and compliance obligations to meet. Organisations may need to manage staff development, maintain records, track progress and demonstrate that requirements are being met.
But the systems used to manage all of this don't always keep up.
At PD able, we see opportunities to make professional development simpler, more structured and more useful.
Our Physiotherapy CPD systems are a good example. We identified a need and built dedicated systems for physiotherapy in both New Zealand and Australia, structured around the professional development requirements of the profession.
The Challenge
A professional development system needs to do more than simply record that someone attended a course.
It needs to help people understand what they need to achieve, keep track of their progress and maintain a useful record of their development.
For a profession such as physiotherapy, that can include things like:
- Recording CPD activities
- Tracking progress towards requirements
- Setting professional development goals
- Creating and managing professional development plans
- Recording reflections on learning
- Maintaining evidence and records
- Working within professional standards and compliance requirements
These are familiar challenges for professional development managers and administrators across many industries.
The challenge is finding a system that brings all of those requirements together in a way that is simple for people to use and straightforward to manage.
Solution
We built the solution with PD able.
Rather than developing a completely bespoke software application from scratch, we used the PD able platform as the foundation and structured it around the requirements of the profession.
The result is a dedicated CPD environment that provides professionals with the tools they need to manage their development, while giving administrators the structure and oversight they need to manage the system.
The important part is that the system is built around the requirements of the profession.
Standards, competencies, CPD requirements, targets, activities, evidence, goals and reflections can all become part of the system rather than sitting separately in spreadsheets, documents or guidelines.

And it doesn't have to be physiotherapy.
The same approach can be used to build a professional development system for almost any industry.
You might be looking to replace an existing system with something smarter and more streamlined.
You might be managing professional development manually and need a proper system for the first time.
Or you might see a gap in your industry and have an idea for something that doesn't exist yet.
With PD able, you can build it yourself using our no-code tools, or work with us and we'll build it for you.
Either way, you get a system built around your requirements, your standards and the way your industry works.
See a need. Build a solution.
That's what PD able makes possible.
Faster. More affordably. And built on modern technology that's continually evolving.
