Continuing professional education

(CPE).

Educational activities usually following the completion of a more formally structured professional education process leading to a professional qualification.

CPE is normally designed to maintain or increase relevant professional knowledge or technical skills.

The scope of CPE is generally narrower than that of Continuing professional development (CPD) which additionally extends into wider organisational and interpersonal skills.
