CPDs
CPDs (Continued Professional Development) help professionals enhance their abilities and knowledge of sustainable products and services.
Some of the videos on this page are accredited as CPDs by organisations like BIID and RIBA and the rest are vetted by our team to make sure they are of value to our audience. These videos will help the designers and architects stay up-to-date with all new products and processes that can support and improve their projects.
The Academy is created to offer a learning and skills development platform focusing on the environmental and social impact of the design and architecture industry. SDA would like to support product suppliers and manufacturers to spread awareness about their products and services by using this platform to host their CPDS and product information videos.
If you have a presentation or CPD that you’d like to be considered for inclusion on the SDA website, please fill out the form below, and a member of our team will review the application and get back in touch with you ASAP.
