Start the 2018-2019 registration year in the right way...


Start the 2018-2019 registration year the right way. Log your continuing professional development as you do it. No more filling out of forms, or losing paperwork after the event.

 We know that architects are busy people. We know that CPD is a regular part of architectural practice. And we also know it can be a headache to complete traditional CPD activity forms. So, like many things we do, we're going digital. Downloading the ARB OPEN App gives you the power to enter CPD hours on your smartphone from inside the CPD activity itself. Simply log the event details, provider name, whether it's Formal or Informal CPD, the hours and competencies and sync it back to the Register to update any time. 

Best of all, when it comes to re-registering in 2019, you'll skip the window on CPD if you've completed the minimum hours required. 

 

You can find the ARB OPEN App in the itunes App Store or on Googleplay.
