Become a RIBA CPD Provider

Delivered by NBS in partnership with RIBA, the RIBA CPD Providers Network is a membership programme connecting manufacturers with architects through RIBA-accredited CPD. 

Connect with architects through trusted technical education. 

Why RIBA CPD matters

Architects undertake CPD to maintain professional competence, stay informed and reduce risk. RIBA-accredited CPD is recognised for its quality and relevance, making it a trusted source of learning within the profession.

For manufacturers, it's an opportunity to build credibility, educate architects on products and systems, and engage specifiers while design decisions are still being made.

RIBA-accredited CPD enables you to engage architects early in the design process, positioning your expertise where specification decisions are being made.

By delivering impartial, educational content, you build credibility while supporting informed product selection.
