Key Projects
Greenlam is now offering a RIBA (Royal Institutes of British Architects) approved CPD (Continuing Professional Development) module on anti-fingerprint HPL surfacing solutions. CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development and is the term used to describe the learning activities professionals engage in to develop and enhance their abilities. CPD is a holistic approach toward the enhancement of personal skills and proficiency throughout a professional’s career.
Greenlam CPD provides an overview of high-pressure laminates and the key technical standards for classification. It provides insight on the anti-fingerprint technology for HPL and the key features and specifications considerations surrounding the product type. All architects and interior designers will have the opportunity of accessing the Greenlam CPD and get RIBA certified in the UK for their annual points. Whether an introduction to basics principles or just a brush-up is required, this training will provide a firm working foundation on the anti-fingerprint HPL surfaces.
