At SPC, we believe that great CPD delivery starts with the people behind it. That’s why we invest in the development and training of our team, ensuring every presenter has the skills and confidence to deliver sessions that are both informative and engaging.
SPC’s CPD Academy
Earlier this month, members of our sales team took part in a tailored workshop designed to enhance their presentation skills. Joe, Omari, and Lewis were the first to take part, working through interactive training sessions that focused on delivery style, structure, audience engagement, and technical clarity.
This training (internally known as SPC’s CPD Academy!) is part of our wider commitment to professional development and knowledge sharing across the industry. By developing our people, we’re helping to raise standards not only within SPC but across the wider building services sector.
Why It Matters
CPDs (Continuing Professional Development) are a valuable tool for architects, consultants, and contractors looking to stay informed, meet compliance, and make confident design decisions. But to be truly useful, a CPD needs to be more than just a technical overview – it needs to be engaging, accessible, and relevant.
By focusing on presentation skills and delivery techniques, we’re making sure that every CPD session we offer gives attendees clear takeaways, practical insights, and an opportunity to ask the right questions in a supportive environment.
