Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Valdes-Scott

  Joined the King’s Royal Hussars in 1994 for 4 years as a CHALLENGER 1 tank commander, before being seconded to the Army Air Corps as a helicopter pilot. A posting to Defence Intelligence raised my awareness of Russian and Chinese Armour capabilities before returning to the King’s Royal Hussars as a CHALLENGER 2 tank squadron leader. As a staff officer, I have recently completed a ten year stretch in Army Headquarters on the Armour Through Life Support desk and am now working with the team in the DE&S to deliver AJAX into service.

 

Lieutenant Colonel James de St John-Pryce

Former CO ATDU and Director, DeFennec Solutions
Lieutenant Colonel James de St John-Pryce

 
Lieutenant Colonel James de St John-Pryce commissioned into the Blues and Royals after a childhood in France and the usual schooling and university in England. With a passion for the role and challenges of reconnaissance, he served in the Household Cavalry Regiment on Scimitar vehicles before stints in training and at ceremonial mounted duty. After an Iraq tour in Media operations, he returned to Basra as the Operations Officer for the Brigade Reconnaissance Force at the height of the violence. Following a posting as Adjutant to the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, he attended the Defence Academy Intermediate Command and Staff Course.
At the Permanent Joint Headquarters in Northwood, he was the J3 Joint Effects desk officer before being selected as Military Assistant to the Assistant Chief of Staff J3 (Operations) at the culmination of campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan; punctuated by the evacuation and subsequent bombing campaign of Libya. Returning to reconnaissance to command C Squadron of the Household Cavalry Regiment in preparation for a tour of Afghanistan on Scimitar 2. This was followed by tours on the Syria desk in Military Strategic Effects in MOD and the Foreign Office; as Plans Officer for the European Union Training Mission in Mogadishu and as Requirements Manager on the AJAX programme in Abbey Wood. He returned to the Household Cavalry as Second in Command and has more recently specialised in global crisis response as the J3/Operations and Africa Team Leader for the Joint Force Headquarters.
Foremost are his passion for flying (fixed winged aircraft), skiing (generally with a small parachute - speed riding) and reforming the Army's least useful anachronisms.
He has commanded the Armoured Trials and Development Unit since July 2021 and will shortly leave the Army seeking new challenges.

    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.
