CPD isn’t a one-time thing – quite the opposite, in fact. Particularly within the construction and building maintenance sectors, there are certain aspects of the job that need to be learned in line with ongoing safety rules and regulations to complete your required 40 hours or CPD per year. Not only will this give your customers peace of mind that you’re qualified with the right know-how, but it will give you the confidence to tackle and approach a number of issues in a safe and professional manner.
With over 40 years of experience providing both specialist coatings and expert advice to the social housing, commercial and industrial sectors, we know exactly what our customers and partners require to skill-up and get the job done. That’s why our convenient, flexible and accredited free CPD courses are made available to all surveyors, specifiers, architects, building managers and contractors looking to develop their skills in specific areas.
In a recent LinkedIn Poll, we asked our followers which area of their work they were most interested in learning more about. As it happens, they were interested in them all! But in first place, results showed our community was most interested in fire safety, followed by roof waterproofing, then general building safety. Below, we take you through a whistle stop tour of what you can expect to learn from our courses, and why you should book your free, online place.
