What CPDs can we offer you? A guide to Russwood’s Timber CPD Seminars
Continuing Professional Development should do more than tick a box. It should give you practical, usable knowledge that supports better specification decisions and helps avoid issues on site. At Russwood, our CPD programme is designed around real-world application. Delivered by our Specification and interiors teams, each session combines technical insight with experience gained from working closely with architects, designers and contractors across a wide range of projects. We offer a mix of accredited seminars, specialist sessions and flexible delivery options to suit your practice.
Specifying Timber Cladding CPD Seminar
Our Specifying Timber Cladding CPD Seminar, accredited by the CPD Certification Service, explores the value and application of timber cladding in architectural projects.
The session covers timber science, the differences between natural and modified timbers, weathering and surface treatments, as well as key fixing and detailing considerations. Case studies are used throughout to demonstrate how these principles translate into successful, long-lasting specifications.
For those who prefer a more flexible format, this CPD is also available as part of our bi-monthly Online CPD Webinars.
Specifying Timber Flooring CPD Seminar
Also, CPD-accredited, our Specifying Timber Flooring CPD Seminar focuses on selecting and specifying flooring for both commercial and residential settings.
We cover timber science and sawing techniques, grading and finishes, and the differences between solid and engineered boards. The session also explores preparation, installation and maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
Case studies featuring European Oak, Douglas Fir and European Mountain Larch help bring these considerations to life. This session is also available in the range of bi-monthly Online CPD Webinars.
Cladding Fire Performance Seminar
Understanding fire performance is a key part of compliant timber specification.
Our Cladding Fire Performance Seminar provides a clear overview of topics including reaction to fire versus fire resistance, Euroclasses and CWFT, cavity barriers and the Russwood Battening System, and fire-retardant treatments and certification.
This session is designed to support informed, confident decision-making when specifying timber cladding.
