The Journey depicts the Professional Development process the Ranger follows from day 1 in the job to fully established Ranger and Ranger manager. The Journey is illustrated in the diagram as the journey water makes from source (new start Ranger) to the sea (fully established ranger).

Achieving the Scottish Ranger Award is not the journeys end. 

Managers play a crucial part in making the Ranger Professional Development journey work. The generic competencies have been developed further to cover management competencies. These are called CPD+.

The CPD+ process

The process is basically the same at that followed to gain the Scottish Ranger Award. First of all you will need to discuss the process with your line manager.

  • Review the CPD+ competencies to identify the gaps in your skills
  • Research how you will be able to gather these competencies
  • Continue on the journey - logging achievements and reviewing progress annually
  • Once you and your line manager feel that you have gathered the competencies in all 4 areas – submit your portfolio to the CPD Monitoring Group.
