Professional Development Audit
Each individual intending to follow one of the 'flexible routes
programmes' works with an academic supervisor and a mentor to
complete a professional development audit (PDA). This PDA is
a reflective examination and assessment of the individual's
education, qualifications, experience and competences upon
enrolment. This is then used to:
- determine the difference between current competences and those
of UK-SPEC
- define the scope of their learning contract or other equivalent
document
- determine how the individual intends to meet the required
competences
The on-going development of competences should be carefully
recorded by the individual. Some PEIs have published
frameworks for this, and individuals seeking registration with one
of those PEIs can complete this alongside the record of
learning.
It is important that an individual should be in a role that
provides them with the opportunities to develop the necessary
competences for the grade of registration that hey are
seeking.
The programme finishes with an overall evaluation of the
individual's achievement of their learning and professional
development goals.
