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)
