Double CPD Points

Completing an NBS Academy training course will offer you and your practice the skills to use the NBS platform more confidently, enabling you to make the best use of your time when creating and collaborating on specifications – meaning less time on work that costs you time, and more time for billable hours. If you’re considering an NBS training course, there is no doubt that they deliver personal and professional value, but they aren’t the only benefits.

Chartered architects are required to complete 100 points of CPD per year to keep up with their obligations, and retain their memberships. NBS is part of the RIBA CPD Providers Network and all our training courses are reviewed and accredited by the RIBA. This means you can claim double points for attending, contributing significantly towards that all-important target. All delegates will receive a certificate as proof of their attendance.
