What PARN Can Offer Your Organisation
With ten years of research in the area of CPD for professional bodies, PARN can provide your organisation with a global context for best practice, including methods of recording, measuring, funding and providing support for online CPD. PARN can also provide information on CPD governance frameworks, including how to best evaluate the impact of CPD on performance and practice, setting standards, audit and assessment methods. The PARN model can help your organisation to move towards output-measurement in each of the stages of the CPD cycle: planning, action, evaluation of outcomes and reflection. Furthermore, PARN can help your organisation to determine the appropriate support, assessment and audit systems that meet the needs of your organisation, and the regulations specific to your country. PARN can also identify the educational institutions, national and international, that can best deliver the CPD that your members need, and assess the means and methods of delivering this education to as extensive an audience as possible. Finally, PARN can help your organisation to develop a clear and effective strategy for successfully implementing output measurements of CPD.
