Continuous Learning

BDP is a “school of design”, with an emphasis on continuous learning and experience emulated through generations.

At BDP we're committed to recruiting talented individuals who share our values, and then nurturing and developing them to achieve their full potential with us.

Everyone in BDP is encouraged to share their knowledge and skills, and to learn continuously throughout their career.

Our supportive and flexible framework allows individuals to take responsibility for their own continuous development. BDP’s competency-based appraisal scheme allows individuals to discuss their performance, career aspirations and development needs to identify a personal action plan that helps to structure their learning over the year. 

Building Your Career With BDP

Learning and development activities focus around five areas of skill and behaviour that we feel are critical to our success; professional and technical skills, people and communication skills, organisation and management, client and commercial orientation, learning and knowledge sharing. 

A variety of learning opportunities are available to our people; structured work experience, coaching and mentoring, self-directed learning as well as CPD events, in-house and external courses.

We aim to grow our own leaders and have a very good track record of promoting from within.
