All practicing RIBA Chartered Members must complete 35 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) each calendar year. Of these, at least 20 hours must cover the 10 RIBA Core Curriculum topics, with a minimum of 2 hours per topic annually.
CPD activities may be either structured (e.g. instructor-led courses, webinars with outcomes) or informal (e.g. reading, podcasts, research). Members should aim for at least half of their annual CPD to be structured where possible.
CPD does not have to come from RIBA or be accredited or approved by RIBA. Members may complete CPD from any credible provider, as long as it is relevant to their professional development needs and circumstances.
All CPD must be recorded using the official RIBA online CPD recording tool. This is the only accepted method of submission, and alternative logs or proof are not accepted. Member records are subject to audit. CPD must be tracked separately for each professional body where applicable.
