Architects and architectural professionals in the United Kingdom and Ireland require CPD hours or activities to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, structured, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.
"The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) requires non-student members and affiliates to complete a minimum of 35 CPD hours each year, measured over an annual cycle from 1 May to 30 April. This requirement applies nationally across the UK and may increase depending on a professional’s level of responsibility to clients, employers, or colleagues.
CIAT does not prescribe mandatory subject categories. Members and affiliates are responsible for determining the content, format, and mix of CPD activities, ensuring relevance to their professional obligations and career development. Eligible CPD activities are broad and include structured and informal learning such as courses, webinars, conferences, private study, academic qualifications, research, writing, presenting, committee work, and professional practice-related learning.
CIAT does not require members to complete only accredited courses. While CIAT operates an AT CPD Register where courses can be formally assessed and listed, use of registered CPD is optional, and unregistered learning activities may still count if they are relevant, current, and professionally beneficial. CIAT certification indicates content suitability but does not constitute approval of course delivery or learning outcomes.
Members and affiliates must maintain their own CPD records and be able to provide evidence of compliance if requested. CPD compliance is monitored through an annual random audit of approximately 5% of members and affiliates. Records may be maintained within the My CIAT online portal or using an alternative tracking method of the member’s choosing.

CPD UK/IE Architects courses are built around relevant, verifiable content that can be applied toward CIAT CPD hours. As with any provider, it remains the member's responsibility to confirm an activity fits their own professional development needs before claiming it.
