Continuous Independent Personal Development (CIPD)

Attending college or university to achieve ones qualification is one thing but with the ever increasing evolvement and changing world of the internet, the only way to stay ahead or up to date is with continuous independent personal development.

We say independent, because after the qualifications have been achieved the learning process after that does tend to be independent of anyone else on specialties we enjoy more, or are required to know for our work. We move from being a student who knows as much as any other student to a specialist in our own field.

A Focus On Search Engine Optimisation And Programming

Some choose the graphics side, some choose web design from an artistic point of view. The current members of ICS learning have focused on search engine optimization and programming solutions as their specialties, both these subjects have not stood still and even after courses have been finished the information learned at the beginning is already out of date.

Take SEO for instance, algorithms are being updated sometimes weekly and a white hat technique used last year could now be a black hat technique, no longer helping your site but harming it. Only someone who live breathes and make the effort for CIPD, will stay at the forefront of this subject.

At the time of writing, the latest version of PHP is now up to 5, anyone learning 4 or below now needs to update themselves or be left behind, unfortunately many will not bother, but still claim to be an expert.

We pride ourselves in being at the forefront not because of what we learned years ago, but for the CIPD which keeps us in time with progressive businesses and ahead of those, who do not take CIPD seriously enough.
