REHAU Building Solutions takes learning online

Specifiers and architects from across the UK will be able to take part in a new series of virtual CPD courses focusing on key topics within the construction sector.

With in-person classes momentarily on hiatus due to lockdown and social distancing measures, polymer solutions provider REHAU is instead turning to the digital world to keep building sector professionals informed about the latest technology and solutions.

Following the success of a trial class earlier in May, the company will offer further interactive courses for industry stakeholders looking to further enhance their knowledge and skill base. Beginning May 13^th, subjects covered by REHAU will include acoustic soil and waste pipe systems, district heating, and heating and plumbing pipe solutions.

Each CPD course will be led by a relevant REHAU sector expert, including plastics industry expert Laurence Chownsmith, Technical Team Leader for Renewable Energy Alexandra Leedham, and Franz Huelle, the division’s Head of Technical. They will include a presentation and further learning materials, as well as a Q&A session in which course participants can interact with the REHAU team to further facilitate learning.

“Though there has been considerable disruption to the construction industry over the past few weeks with many projects being placed on hold, the sector continues to be a hotbed of innovation,” says Franz. “With that in mind, we want to continue to support specifiers and architects and ensure they remain ahead of the curve when it comes to new technologies and solutions.

“Though it certainly is not ideal that we cannot provide CPD support in the usual classroom environment, we want to use this time to ensure building service professionals can further expand their skillsets. By doing so, these course participants can put themselves in the strongest possible position as the industry takes steps back to normality in the near future.”

The latest online CPD courses will be shown on the website when available
