RIBA CPD Providers Network: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This network provides architects with a structured way to access professional learning and technical training through a variety of providers.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for architects who are seeking accredited learning. It is intended for professionals who need to engage in continuous professional development to maintain their professional standing and keep their skills current within the industry.

🎁What you get

By using this network, you gain access to industry-standard technical seminars. These sessions are designed to provide professional development that aligns with the technical requirements and professional standards expected within the field of architecture. These seminars cover specialized topics to help you stay updated on industry practices.

💰What it costs you

The cost of participating varies depending on the specific educational session you choose. While some training sessions are offered for free, other sessions may require you to pay a fee or maintain an active membership with the provider to attend. You should check the specific requirements for each seminar before you register.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is to ensure that the specific CPD (Continuing Professional Development) session you attend is officially "RIBA-approved." It is your responsibility to verify this status to ensure the learning is valid for your professional records and meets the necessary accreditation requirements.

2. Look for seminars and educational sessions provided through the official network.
3. Check the individual requirements for each session to see if it requires a membership or a specific fee.
4. Once you have completed a session, verify that it is officially approved so you can include it in your professional records.
