CPD (Continuous Professional Development)
As in most professions, LABC surveyors should engage in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) in order to stay proficient, adjust to industry disruption, challenges as well as learn new skills and specialisms. LABC provides a range of formal and informal learning aimed to help you develop and maintain essential professional knowledge, skills and behaviours through a structured approach to learning.
"By providing competency based learning to construction professionals, we’re enabling them to succeed, and together we’re changing the built environment for the better.”
