ouch.... a bit harsh Hal...
I look at facts... if you read my posts.. I have often said that the principal is good.. and still do... but stand by the current situation where doing CPD is not linked to career prospects in most cases..
You look at my quote and it is ending with a question mark... a question, not an assertion.. you are right in saying that hardly any archaeologists utilise formal CPD systems at present.. why is that? how can it be strange or an opinion to suggest that there is no correlaltion... it would be difficult to see one if so few do it would it not?
I take it you feel it should be formalised... as do I.
I suspect you feel that it should form part of the employees credentials and when employing a person with 'more' verified skills will be placed on a higher grade in your organisation... or is it just at the employment stage the cpd matters.
If you have evidence to suggest otherwise then you are entitled to you opinion too, and welcome to opine here, this is what BAJR is about.. opinions and discussion... weasel words - hardly... a statement of fact? not really... a question... yes.. one you answered from your own opinion as well.
