Continuing Professional Development
Improve your knowledge and understanding of suspending ceilings with our wide range of learning resources. Whether you’re seeking a RIBA Approved CPD course, some hands-on training with our products, or curious about our manufacturing process, we have a training option for you.
RIBA and RIAI Approved CPDs
Choose one of our RIBA or RIAI Approved training sessions for architects and gain points towards your annual CPD requirements. This training can be delivered as an online seminar, but for the highest impact we recommend an in-person session at your practice. All of our RIBA-accredited courses are delivered by our architectural and design consultants, with certificates awarded upon completion of the course.
Our current CPD offering:
- Fire: Suspended Ceiling Systems – the basics (RIBA Approved)
- Health, Wellbeing and Productivity (RIBA Approved)
- Sound Advice: Limiting noise annoyance in buildings (RIBA and RIAI Approved)
Zentia’s Acoustic Sound Advice CPD is not only informative but highly enjoyable. The speaker was both knowledgeable and enthusiast about the subject, using facts and engaging demonstrations to convey key points and useful tips on architectural acoustic design. This was the best acoustic CPD the office has had.
Lunch and Learn
Choose one of our Lunch and Learn sessions to gain a deeper understanding of our products and how they can be used to enhance your projects. These sessions can be delivered in person at your own premises by one of our architectural and design consultants, or as an online seminar.

- Introducing Sonify by Zentia – our range of acoustic baffles, canopies and wall absorbers
- Zentia Product Overview – covering our evolution from Armstrong Ceiling Solutions to Zentia, and a full introduction to our portfolio of ceiling systems

Painting on the Ceiling
Zentia’s Painting on a Ceiling events bring creativity to new heights – literally. Inspired by the idea that ceilings can be more than just a surface, these interactive sessions invite architects, designers, and creatives to reimagine the spaces above us. With a brush in hand and ideas flowing, participants transform ceiling tiles into works of art, pushing the boundaries of design in a fun and engaging way. After all, great spaces don’t just happen at eye level – sometimes, you have to look up for inspiration.
