Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Seminars 

Unlock your potential with DuPont's Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminars for Architects and Construction Professionals 

DuPont™ Tyvek® offers free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminars for architects and construction professionals, focusing on (but not limited to) building protection and energy efficiency.

CPD’s targeted at architects have been accredited by Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and are also available for booking via RIBA CPD Providers Network. Some of our CPD’s have also been approved by the CABE Chartered Association of Building Engineers in the UK . The evaluations conducted by RIBA and CABE serve to ensure that CPD offerings are of high quality, credible, and provide valuable educational content that fosters safe and informed specification decisions.

Our CPD content is based on almost a decade of interaction of our DuPont^™️ Tyvek^®️ Building Knowledge Centre experts with architects, designers and construction professionals, as well as on valuable insights from the ‘RIBA CPD report 2024’ (that covers findings from 340 specifiers and designers).

We have carefully considered architects' requirements and preferences, and we have developed a comprehensive vision for the desired CPD program. We are now pleased to present this tailored offering to you.
