Level-up your knowledge in fluid technology
What is CPD training?
Continued professional development (CPD) training is vital to stay up to speed with technological advances and best practice, and to ensure a full understanding of the latest legislation and regulations. It’s also essential to fulfil CIBSE conditions, which require every member to complete a minimum of 21 hours of certified CPD each year.
Industry-leading CPD courses
Our free CPD training courses cover all aspects of current and future requirements in professional fluid technology. Led by industry experts at your premises, in our state-of-the-art training centre or online, they’re an informative and engaging way to boost knowledge while maintaining CIBSE accreditation.
How to book
Dutypoint’s continued professional development courses are very popular, so we recommend booking in advance. Each one counts as 1-hour of CPD training, book individually to fit your downtime, or select multiple courses to build a more comprehensive session.
