Common questions about Personal Development CPD.
Try LumiQ for freePersonal development CPD typically includes education focused on the skills that make you more effective at work like leadership, communication, time management, business writing, and professional judgment. These courses are generally intended to strengthen how you work with clients and teams, not to teach a specific technical accounting standard.
Personal development CPD courses can cover:
Leadership and management skills for new and experienced managers
Communication (email, meetings, stakeholder alignment)
Time management and prioritization
Business development and networking for CPAs
Tools and productivity skills that support your work (e.g. Excel or presentation skills)
Podcasts can deliver superior learning outcomes compared to live CPD webinars and recorded webcasts. Audio-only formats reduce cognitive overload and "Zoom fatigue," allowing your brain to retain information better. Additionally, unlike live or in-person options, you can pause and replay complex concepts as needed for comprehension.
Podcasts also fit your schedule and your life better. Unlike live webinars with fixed start times, podcasts let you earn CPD during your commute, between clients, or whenever works best.
In short, you get the same credit hours with better retention and zero scheduling conflicts.
CPD credits vary by course. Typically they range from 1 to 2 hours per podcast and 3 to 9 hours for our in-depth, multi-episode learning paths. Each course listing clearly displays the credits you'll earn upon completion. All credits are earned once you complete the podcast episode in full and pass the final assessment.
LumiQ provides structured professional learning activities designed to support CPD requirements for accounting and finance professionals. Upon completion of a real-estate focused course, LumiQ provides a certificate of completion documenting the learning activity and CPD hours earned.
Eligibility and classification of CPD activities are determined by the member and their provincial CPA body. Members are responsible for confirming that a specific course qualifies as ethics CPD under their CPD requirements. Check your local accounting board requirements for details on credit recognition.
