Building Safety is the most important aspect of an architects architect's role. Dame Hackitt made it clear that simply doing the minimum to comply is no longer enough and that the industry needs to adapt. This event promises to be a great way to ensure that you are up to speed with current best practices.

Why is CPD important?

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) accreditation helps to raise industry standards and benchmarks in line with increasing globalisation and consumer demands. Organisations from across industry sectors use CPD accreditation to add value to their training.

Architects

CPD is a huge part of the architectural industry, with professions such as Architects, Designers and Planners all required to undertake annual CPD requirements. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) states that all Chartered Architects must complete 35 CPD hours per annum and half of these need to be structured. Architects must also dedicate 20 hours to ten mandatory RIBA core curriculum topics, which include: health, safety and wellbeing, sustainable architecture and architecture for social purposes, to stay registered.

Construction & Building Maintenance Professionals

Construction is a fast-paced industry with technology continuously developing, and a need to keep the profession up-to-date on workplace changes and education for all professionals aligned with building and construction. This includes a wide range of professions such as home builders, commercial developers, architects, building merchants, contractors, and suppliers. Undertaking regular CPD is a requirement for a number of professional bodies, one such body is the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and their members are required to complete 35 hours of CPD each year. An organisation that can deliver CPD-accredited training is very desirable to ambitious industry professionals in this particular sector.

If you are collecting CPD hours, you can log 2 hours for attending each masterclass.
