Continuing Professional Development (CPD) obligations exist to help ensure that qualified professionals maintain their competence to practise. This is true in many professional sectors in the UK.
 
At its very basic level, CPD is for consumer protection. It also ensures that architects keep up-to-date in a rapidly changing profession. CPD also enhances an architect's current and future development (professionally, personally and for staff within a business).
 
All chartered members of the RIBA are obliged to do CPD every year. This is true no matter where in the world the member lives or what sort of work is undertaken. Only fully
retired members are exempt from this obligation.

• seminars and courses in our regional offices
