Operational Martitime Logistic Support and Strategic Sealift
We are delighted to present you with the finalised programme for SAE Media Group’s Operational Maritime Logistic Support at Sea and Strategic Sealift conference, the only symposium at the market place to explore this popular yet insufficiently analysed aspect of naval operations.

Drawing on the experiences from East Timor, Sierra Leone and Gulf War naval operations, this forum aims to analyse the key issues raised by maritime logistics and associated movement of land forces. Attending this unique event will enable you to examine the critical factors affecting the maritime logistic operations, relevant strategic sealift issues and amphibious warfare.

At SAE Media Group, we are proud to announce that we have assembled the leading military and industry experts to tackle the critical issues related to this increasingly important aspect of modern warfare. In particular, I would like to highlight the following speakers:

· Jonathan Kaskin, Director of Strategic Mobility and Combat Logistics, US Navy (Pentagon)

· Allan Du Toit, Commander, Austrailian Navy Amphibious and Afloat Support Group, Royal Australian Navy

· Robert van de Graaf, Sales Manager-Naval Exports,The Royal Schelde Company

· Vincenzo Farinetti,Business Manager Auxiliary Naval Vessels and HSC, Fincanteri

· Eric Mitchell, Systems Engineering and Safety Manager, BAE SYSTEMS

· Captain Mark Heinrich, Commanding Officer, Navy Fuel Management

If you are involved in any aspect of strategic sealift and maritime logistics you can not afford to miss this highly topical and timely event. This is your chance to meet the key figures in this field and discuss current and anticipated future developments.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
