CPD for Architects: Training from RIBA-Approved Providers
RIBA CPD gives architects, architectural technologists and specifiers free access to over 1,000 RIBA-accredited CPD courses, from more than 500 providers.
Every course is independently assessed by RIBA to ensure it is educational - whether you are working towards your annual CPD requirement, specifying products for a live project, or deepening your technical knowledge, you will find relevant, trusted learning here.
Why Architects Choose RIBA CPD
Trust the learning
In a crowded CPD market, it can be difficult to know whether the learning you are recording is genuinely educational or just a sales presentation in disguise. RIBA independently assesses every piece of CPD in the Network to ensure it meets a consistent educational standard.
Content is evaluated for accuracy, relevance and balance before it is approved, so you can engage with product and specification CPD knowing the information has been vetted and apply what you learn to real projects with confidence.
About RIBA CPD accreditationStay compliant
RIBA Chartered Members must complete 35 hours of CPD every year, 20 of which must cover the 10 mandatory RIBA Core Curriculum topics.
Every CPD is mapped to one of the Core Curriculum topics, so you can find relevant learning quickly and record it with confidence. Keeping your CPD up to date is not just a membership requirement. It demonstrates to clients, colleagues and project teams that your knowledge is current and your practice is professionally sound.

Become a RIBA CPD Provider
The RIBA CPD Providers Network gives building product manufacturers and industry specialists a direct route to architects who are actively seeking technical knowledge. All CPD submitted to the network is independently assessed by RIBA, which is precisely why architects engage with it.
With over 500 providers already in the network and nearly 73% of architects going on to specify a manufacturer's products after completing their CPD, it is one of the most effective ways to build specification credibility with the profession.
CPD can be delivered as a seminar, an online module, or a downloadable resource. Bookings are managed through ribacpd.com, giving providers direct access to an audience of RIBA members who are ready to learn.
