The RIBA has developed a national programme of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). There are ten different seminars covering subjects in all ten RIBA core curriculum areas. They are repeated in 13 different venues across England and Wales. All are welcome and you can attend any of the seminars throughout the year at any of the venues and pay as you book. The seminars are cheaper to purchase with a CPD Club Ticket, which entitles you to attend all ten seminars throughout the year and can bring the cost down to as little as £35 per event.
We hope this flexible approach will give you more opportunity to build your professional competence, as well as helping you to meet you annual CPD requirements.
In the North East events will take place at Gateshead Civic Centre. Events will run on a Thursday afternoon from 2 - 4.30pm; registration from 1.30pm.
