2026 Course Programme

We are pleased to announce that our 2026 short course programme is now available.

Our programme this year consists of a number of one-day and half-day courses on various key topics in relation to the façade, including:

  • Fire performance,
  • Glass,
  • Materials,
  • Testing,
  • Building Physics,
  • Built-up walls.

In response to feedback from last year, the courses will start earlier in the year, and be available for longer.  We hope this flexibility will make easier for people to attend and engage with the course material.

Each course has an element of assessment.  This was introduced in response to feedback and increased requirements to demonstrate competency.  Delegates will be required to pass the assessment in order to receive a CPD certificate.  Further details of the assessment can be found in the course descriptions.

Presentations are pre-recorded and will be available from the course start date.  A discussion board will be available for delegates to ask any questions. We encourage delegates to make use of the discussion board to clarify any issues they may have and to ask wider questions on the topics being covered. A PDF handout of the presentations will also be available to download.

Booking information

After booking a place on a course, delegates will be sent a link to our online course platform, which is called Thinkific, where they will need to create an account. This email will come from Thinkific.com - please check your spam folder if it doesn’t appear in your inbox.  Accounts must be created in the name of the delegate. If a delegate books places on multiple courses, they will all be available via the same account.

  • If you wish to book a place on a course on behalf of a delegate, please enter the delegate’s name and email address during the booking process. They will then receive all the joining information.
    • If you require a copy of the receipt/invoice, please email cwct@cwct.co.uk.

  • If you wish to book multiple places on a course, please do so by purchasing the required number of vouchers for the relevant course.  When you do this, you will be sent a code that you can share with the delegates allowing them to book individual places on the specific course.  Please CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE COURSE SPACES IN BULK.

  • Bookings are on an individual basis.  Please do not share presentations or your account details with anyone else.  Please note that a CPD Certificate will only be issued to the named delegate.

  • CWCT Members receive a discount for all our courses. To access your discount, please log into the Cladding Forum with your organisation passcode and follow instructions shown there.

On the course start date, the presentations will be available via the account created.  You should try to access the presentations as soon as possible after the start date and report any problems as soon as possible.  Please note that the presentations are intended to be viewed in the order given, and some may refer to preceding presentations.
