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.
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.
