It includes the RIAI Standards of Knowledge Skill and Competences against which members should self-assess regularly to plan their CPD. The system also includes a catalogue of upcoming programmes and can notify members of programmes in their stated areas of interest. RIAI CPD Engage is available to all active architect, associate, architectural graduate and architectural technician/technologist members and fellows who are up-to-date with their subscriptions and who have provided the Institute with a valid unique email address.
