The start of a new year usually sparks some form of projection of the year ahead – even if it’s just casual speculation. From a professional perspective it’s a good time to plan the year’s CPD, and what better place to start than right here?

All CPD materials featured here have been created by members of the RIBA CPD Providers Network, a group of construction industry businesses and organisations committed to improving standards and promoting best practice through shared knowledge. 

The latest CPD section includes material such as 'Brick Slip Facade Systems' by Cladmate Facade Systems, 'Fire Safety - Flat Roof Compliance' by ICB (Waterproofing) Ltd and 'Mastering "Smart" in the Built Environment' by Kromers Ltd

January's Featured CPD includes 'The Party Wall Act for Architects' by E K McQuade and 'Adaptable Spaces and Systems' by Komfort Partitioning Ltd

Some of the CPD material looking at glass and glazing systems includes:

Elsewhere in the January showcase, topics include 'doors and entrances', 'design, construction and technology' and 'health, safety and wellbeing'
