In the building, industrial and infrastructure sectors, legislative changes now move at pace, along with innovative new product launches and updated installation techniques, meaning the need for professional development is essential to stay ahead.
At Aliaxis UK, we’re proud to offer a suite of free, accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions designed to provide a structured framework of learning that promotes technical excellence in the built environment.
We’ve developed our CPDs to support M&E consultants, architects, specifiers, building services engineers, contractors, and facilities managers stay at the forefront of their fields.
Our topics are carefully chosen to help you stay current with industry changes, enhance your technical understanding, and strengthen your professional credibility.
David Thomas, Aliaxis Head of Technical Services, said: “The work we do, the research we conduct, together with our expertise, mean we are well placed to offer insightful, educational and in-depth CPDs that will help improve performance and allow individuals to stay current with industry trends and best practice.
“Continuing Professional Development is crucial for career progression, maintaining professional standards and registrations, and demonstrating a commitment to lifelong learning, which boosts confidence and employability.”
Our CPDs cover key topics such as water management, drainage and sustainable building solutions and are all CIBSE or RIBA accredited. Each one-hour course offers practical insights, regulatory updates, and innovative solutions tailored to your professional needs.
Topics include:
- A guide to sanitary pipework design.
- The benefits of acoustic drainage.
- Active Drainage Ventilation in high rise buildings.
- Barrier Pipe for potable water supply.
- Why do we need chemical drainage systems?
- The benefits of HDPE drainage systems.
- Polyethylene pipes and fittings for water and gas supply.
- Siphonic rainwater drainage.
We deliver our CPDs flexibly - typically at your office, though online sessions are also available. There are no fixed dates, so we’ll work with you to find a time that suits. Occasionally, we run larger sessions for multiple companies on an ad hoc basis.
Some sessions, such as our Active Drainage Ventilation CPD, are delivered at the Aliaxis UK Testing and Training Facilities at the National Lift Tower, in Northampton - home to the world’s tallest drainage testing installation, a 75m soil stack that recreates real-world performance conditions.
The Training and Research Centre serves as our hub for innovation in high-rise plumbing systems. Following a recent revamp, it now offers enhanced spaces for hands-on practical training alongside expert-led CPDs.
Our facilities attract professionals from around the world, including building regulation inspectors, consultants, designers, international developers, M&E contractors, main contractors, and public health engineers.
We also use virtual reality technology to make our facilities accessible to all. Participants undertaking the Active Drainage Ventilation CPD can experience the National Lift Tower virtually, and those joining our siphonic rainwater drainage programme can take a VR tour of the Hydro-Dynamics Experience Centre in Holland.
