May's issue of RIBA CPD Showcase

May's issue of RIBA CPD Showcase

May 21, 2021 |NBS |1 Minute Read

We look at the latest RIBA accredited CPD materials for May with subjects including sustainable architecture and much more. 

In this month’s issue of RIBA CPD Showcase as well as sharing the latest range of RIBA-approved CPD materials, we examine finishes of every type, texture and technological function. Finishes not only protect from impact, weather, abrasion and corrosion, but often make the aesthetic difference between ordinary and outstanding. Finishes serve many purposes, cover a variety of elements, and often have considerable impact on how we perceive a building. You’ll find a selection of CPD content focussing on finishes including:

• Guide to Different Types of Screed by Cemfloor Liquid Screeds
• Carpet Specification for a Theraputic Environment by Danfloor UK Ltd
• Industrial Flooring: The Generic Resins and Their Real Life Performance by Acrylicon UK Distribution Ltd

This month’s issue also looks at RIBA Core Curriculum topics ‘Design, construction and technology’ and ‘Sustainable architecture’. Remember, a minimum of 20 of your annual 35-hours of CPD should incorporate materials from the 10 Core Curriculum topics.

While restrictions in the UK have continued to ease, the RIBA CPD Providers Network is still supporting RIBA members remotely by providing high quality and accredited learning materials that can be accessed online. May’s showcase also offers some fantastic live and online resources such as Acoustics: Functionality with Design by Eomac UK Limited and Understanding Structural Waterproofing by Sovereign Chemicals Ltd.

The materials included in the monthly RIBA CPD Showcase are just sample of the wider range of content available – you can visit ribacpd.com to find even more.
