Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for architects and construction professionals to stay informed about industry advancements, regulatory updates, and innovative materials.
For companies specialising in metal products, offering CPD presentations accredited by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) provides a valuable opportunity to educate and engage with architects and specifiers.
Lunch and Learn
Graepels Lunch and Learn is an informal training or educational session held during lunchtime. These sessions provide professionals with an opportunity to expand their knowledge on industry-related topics, with Lunch.
We encourage to carry these out in a relaxed setting, for optimum engagement and discussion without taking time away from your workday.
