Self-Assessment
Self-Assessment
Self-assessment is the starting point of the CPD cycle and is essential for you to be able to target your learning and development .
POD
We have developed a CDP framework ‘ POD ’ ( Professional Operators Development ), which is the CIRO recognised skills pathway for railway operators , which illustrates what successful and effective operators know and deliver across every aspect and specialism of the profession .
There are many benefits to using POD as your CDP framework , including the self-assessment tool .
The self-assessment element allows you to self-assess the Whole System Rail Operations or any of the individual 12 sections that it is made up of .
POD also generates ideas for development activities , such as how to improve your industry know-how , advances you can make to keep your knowledge relevant and suggestions for building your career passport . Covering twelve areas , POD provides the structure for the CIRO learning and development courses .
