Architects
and construction professionals can attain up to double allocated
points with
Laidlaw’s high quality RIBA-approved material.
Laidlaw,
one of the country’s leading
names in architectural ironmongery, balustrades and security
systems, is an approved member of the RIBA CPD Providers Network and
offers a series of four CPDs for professionals, one of which is an
approved core curriculum subject.
Managing
Director Peter O’Brien said: “We’re committed to high quality
education and training, which is why we have created resources on
four key topics that will help professionals in the architecture and
construction sectors to improve their knowledge and also learn about
innovations in the market.
“We’re
very proud to be part of this prestigious network of providers
because it guarantees that our learning resources have achieved the
hallmark of the quality required for this most demanding of sectors.”
All
material is rigorously assessed within the strict guidelines laid
down by RIBA’s assessors and because Laidlaw is part of the CPD
Providers Network, any module completed is worth double the points
under the RIBA CPD system.
Access
for All, which is an approved core curriculum subject, focuses on the
requirements of the Equality Act and such topics as door opening
force, accessibility, minimum obligations for door hardware and
performance criteria. It also looks at corrective solutions for
inappropriate design in public buildings with regards to
accessibility.
Handrails
and Balustrades: The Specifiers’ Guide also looks at the Equality
Act and requirements for handrails and balustrades, including heights
and projections, materials, loading forces, and overcoming
challenges.
In the
Helping to Specify Architectural Ironmongery module, learners will
cover specification procedures, Declaration of Performance
Certification and how to schedule a typical building. It also has a
basic introduction to hinges, door closers, hardware, locks, access
control and anti-ligature products.
The
fourth CPD module on integrated doorsets looks at the meaning of CE
marking, the benefits of an integrated doorset, standards, finishes,
hardware selection and specialist requirements.
Each
module comprises a 50-minute seminar, working models, literature and
handouts.
