July’s CPD Update: Live and in your living room

Written by NBS | Jul 30, 2020, 12:00:00 PM

Although signs of normality are slowly starting to show again, the construction industry is still a long way off from a ‘business as usual’ approach. As a result, in the place of office-based seminars and factory tours, many architects are still looking for remote CPD to keep up to date with their requirements.

Live and remote CPD content provides attendees with the chance to fully interact and ask questions, just like being there in person. Even when delivered remotely, RIBA approved CPD is still worth double points.

Check out the below providers that have made their CPD content available live and online, so that you gain points from the comfort of your own home.
