Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme is established with the principal objective to help architects to develop professionally through continuous updating and upgrading of their skill set and knowledge, so that their knowledge and experience will remain current and relevant in our rapidly changing environment. This is achieved through organizing educational courses, seminars, talks and other events.
These events were constantly reviewed, refined and restricted (if necessary) to meet the objectives and requirements of mandatory CPD programme. SIA had been working closely with the various trade partners in organizing seminars, courses and conferences to update, upgrade and educate architects with state-of-the-art professional knowledge.
Through continuous development of their professional knowledge, architects are empowered and better equipped to meet the challenges of ever changing professional practice, rising demand and expectation of their clients, as well as growing competition in local and global arenas.
