One year ago, we updated our course content to give you new methods of learning and to improve current pathways to success. We redesigned our learning offerings to help you thrive, with a focus on interactivity, inclusivity and delivering insights. 

If you are neurodivergent, learning in a second language, or prefer to listen rather than read, our new approach allows you to study with confidence and make progress toward your professional goals. 

Increased interactivity makes learning more engaging

Static presentations are a thing of the past; we’ve introduced new methods of learning to ensure courses are actively engaging learners: 

• Activity-by-activity voice-overs which you can follow at your own pace.
• Interactive quizzes and tasks make learning more dynamic.
• Expert-led videos deliver critical insights.
• Case studies ensure knowledge is relevant to the latest legislation.
• Webinars provide a forum for questions and answers.
• Clear, accessible text is suitable for all reading levels and backgrounds. 

These new methods of learning are built into structured learning pathways, which initially help you to ensure your understanding of foundational knowledge before assessing your industry findings.

From workshops on the Building Safety Act 2022 to focused sessions exploring the intricacies of JCT Contracts, you will gain a strong understanding of construction legislation and best practice. 

Courses evolve with your feedback 

Built into every course is a survey collecting feedback and learner input, allowing us to review our content regularly. Sections that do not meet expectations can be pulled offline and revised, ensuring courses remain relevant, effective and tailored to the needs of construction professionals. 

Learning which is accessible to all

Accessibility is central to everything we do at CIOB Academy. By ensuring that courses cater to neurodiverse learners, those with reading difficulties, or those who speak English as a second language, we are opening our doors for more people than ever before to develop their skills and grow their careers. 

As we continue to expand our learning offerings, we intend to develop courses fully in other languages, opening our courses to those around the globe. Such as Arabic courses, which will begin full development next year.
