NBS Academy

The new training academy for NBS.

Hands-on learning, delivered in a format that suits you.

Welcome to NBS Academy

NBS Academy is the new home for NBS training courses and content and is here to be used as a resource to support your personal and professional development. Our dedicated trainers will help you make the most of the NBS Platform, helping you work smarter and more efficiently.

The NBS Academy offers a variety of training options across a broad range of topics so you can learn in a way that suits your availability, learning preferences and budget. If you’re new to NBS Chorus, our free ‘Welcome to Chorus’ session will help familiarise you with the platform, create projects, edit Uniclass 2015 and CAWS work sections, use the collaborative features and much more!

For your more advanced needs, our wide range of tailored course solutions will help you get the most from the platform such as adding in manufacturer content, using masters and connecting and synchronising your digital model.

We can deliver these courses online, on-site and via public sessions and all our courses are assessed by the RIBA, and so worth double CPD points. New course dates are added regularly, so check back often!

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.
