RIBA Principal Designer Course

Looking to consolidate your skills and knowledge in the Principal Designer role? Need some training to give you the confidence in your skills?

RIBA’s accredited Principal Designer course defines and provides adequate “skills, knowledge, experience” to a professionally agreed standard. To show awareness and capability to deliver this role, there is an industry expectation for professionals to demonstrate attendance and knowledge attained. Following completion, an attendance certificate will be issued showing that you attended the RIBA-accredited course

You will also be given the opportunity to participate in an online exam, after which successful delegates will be issued an exam result certificate. Alongside your attendance certificate, this could be useful should a client, stakeholder or external body require evidence that you have the industry standard skills,

knowledge and understanding of the principal designer role.

Who is the course for? The one-day course provides adequate understanding of the regulations, context and background, as well as Principal Designer practicalities, using delegate’s ongoing projects as case studies. Although the course is mainly aimed at architects with three or more years’ experience, it is also suitable for other duty-holders looking to learn more about the Principal Designer role.
