How to Use Your CPD Record in a Competency Based Interview

Your CPD portfolio is more than a compliance tool it’s a goldmine of evidence for your next job interview.
In competency based interviews, you’re often asked to give examples of how you’ve demonstrated skills like leadership, problem solving, or communication. The examples you log in CPD Safe can help you answer with confidence.
How CPD Helps You Prepare:
It reminds you of recent situations where you applied key skills from your CPD.
It gives you a structured way to talk about growth and outcomes.
It shows your commitment to ongoing development a value many employers prize.
Tip: Use the STAR technique when preparing:
Situation, Task, Action, Result.
Review your CPD entries and pick ones that align with the job competencies.
With a well maintained CPD record, you’ll never struggle to find strong, relevant examples again.
