 CONTINUING EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION:
Continuing education (similar to further education in the United Kingdom and Ireland) is an
all-encompassing term within a broad list of post-secondary learning activities and programs.
The term is used mainly in the United States and Canada.
DEFINITION:
Continuing education—the acquisition or improvement of work-related skills by people already
in the workforce —became increasingly vital throughout the 20th century partially as a result of
technological advances, which led many industries to depend on high-tech equipment.
Continuing education includes formal and informal training. Workers may earn college degrees
through formal programs, concentrate on professional development courses aimed at personal
enrichment in informal surroundings, or participate in programs that include both formal and
informal elements. Generally, continuing education refers to classes and seminars that focus on
job-related skills and knowledge.

GOALS:
 Ideally, continuing-education programs benefit both businesses and workers. Businesses
encourage continuing education in order to sustain a highly skilled and specialized workforce
—a workforce with the skills to perform a variety of tasks or workers with "cross-functional"
skills. Workers, on the other hand, may receive promotions, gain more power in the job
market, or become more valuable employees by enrolling continuing-education programs.
 Courses are available through a variety of channels. High schools, community colleges,
universities, and trade/professional societies and organizations all provide continuing-
education programs.
 Many offer night courses or run weekend-only programs that provide a convenient
alternative for those with traditional Monday through Friday schedules. Schools sometimes
team up with businesses and organizations to offer programs jointly.
 In addition, many companies run their own continuing-education programs, ranging from
workshops and seminars to full-fledged college-credit curriculums.

HISTORY:

138
In the United Kingdom, Oxford University 's Department for Continuing Education was founded
in 1878,] and the Institute of Continuing Education of Cambridge University dates to the 1873.
The Chautauqua Institution, originally the Chautauqua Lake Sunday School Assembly, was
founded in 1874 "as an educational experiment in out-of-school, vacation learning. It was
successful and broadened almost immediately beyond courses for Sunday school teachers to
include academic subjects, music, art and physical education.
Cornell University was among higher education institutions that began offering university-based
continuing education, primarily to teachers, through extension courses in the 1870s. As noted in
the Cornell Era of February 16, 1877, the university offered a "Tour of the Great Lakes" program
for "teachers and others" under the direction of Professor Theodore B. Comstock, head of
Cornell's department of geology.
OBJECTIVE

of updating, complementing, supplying knowledge and forming academic and labor aspects that
don’t lead to a diploma without the subjection to the levels and standards established by the
Colombia Education System for formal education.

 Electrical energy processes: Electrical distribution, Rational use of energy, Electrical
security
 Machine design and industrial processes
 Industrial Instrumentation

 Others: according to necessities and requirements of companies and other institutions
Extension and Development Centre Objective Design and develop permanent and
continuous educational programs, by giving attention to the requirements of students,
graduates and or of the enterprise market
PROGRAMMES OFFERED IN CEP
 Programmes on topics such as GMP, QA/QC, Regulatory Affairs and Clinical
Research are conducted inviting participation from industries and other organizations.
 Programmes are typically designed in comprehensive manner keeping in mind the industry
and organization expectations for 2-5 days duration
 Programmes are either conducted onsite all over the country or at IGMPI's New Delhi
Campus in the form of interactive lectures, workshops and conferences.The training
materials developed by the Institute are also provided at the end of each session.
 The training materials developed by the Institute are also provided at the end of each session.
 Participation Certificates are awarded by IGMPI after the culmination of the programmes

BENEFITS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION:

139
 People who upgrade their work skills and knowledge not only can keep up with the latest
technologies and business techniques, but they also can receive other benefits, such as the
training needed to climb the corporate ladder and to realize additional career goals. Training
facilities often house state-of-the-art equipment such as computers and computer-based
training equipment. Computers can facilitate interactive training through computer networks
such as the Internet.
 With this technology, learners have instant access to experts in virtually every vocation.
 While continuing education is sometimes perceived as largely a means to career
advancement, researchers in the late 1990s argued that continuing education was becoming
less of an option and more of a necessity. Hence, one of the greatest benefits workers may
derive from continuing education is simply keeping their jobs.
 Nevertheless, additional education still can help employees receive promotions and land
better jobs.
 Besides these basic advantages, some experts contend that continuing education provides
additional benefits at a more abstract level. Continuing education allows workers to clarify
and understand the purpose and goals of their occupations.
FUNCTION:
 To achieve the goals of a new culture of continuing professional development (CPD), the
recommended Continuing Professional Development Institute (CPDI) must be structured to
advance continuing education (CE).
 Four areas in particular are fundamental to the scope of the recommended CPDI: advancing
the science of CPD, data collection and dissemination, regulation, and financing.
Furthermore, because one of the motivations for the CPDI is to promote collaboration across
state and disciplinary lines,
 it should be guided by the principles of transparency (so that all stakeholders can participate
and understand the results), independence (so that no organization dominates), use of best
evidence (to convince diverse stakeholders of the CPDI’s value), and analysis of the
practitioner’s experience as a professional development tool (to broaden the scope of CE).
 This chapter considers establishing the basic function and structure of the CPDI—and of the
planning committee that will begin the process of consensus building and recommend the
characteristics and operation of the CPDI in much greater detail than can be addressed in this
report.
IMPORTANCE OF CONTINUING EDUCATION
 For nurses, there are typically two types of continuing education. The first is required for
them to remain licensed in their states.
 The second type of continuing education allows them to get more advanced degrees and
qualify for higher-level nursing positions.
 In the fast-paced pharmacy field, continuing education is important for career growth and
licensure. Pharmacists need continuing education to renew their state licenses.

140
 Continuing education focuses on subject areas in health care, including pharmacology,
patient counseling, regulatory issues, and other topics that contribute to professional
pharmacy practice.
 Certified public accountants (CPAs) must meet continuing education requirements
established by the State Board of Accountancy of the states where their CPA licenses are
held. The requirements vary from state to state.
 The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) also requires certain continuing education for
CPAs to maintain membership.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT MODE:

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, good course design involves a great deal of forethought and consideration.
Framed within the current context of competency-based dental education and the call for change
in the ways that we teach and assess competency, the author’s hope is that readers will find the
strategies outlined in this learning module helpful in implementing course design.
