Are you an architect looking to top up your CPD points, an interior designer wanting to up-skill or a student/graduate wanting to get ahead?

We provide NZIA-approved professional development presentations you can book to join online or in person. You can do this directly with us, or through the  Te Kāhui Whaihanga NZ Institute of Architects for a group online presentation when they are available.

We offer two Continuing Professional Development (CPD) presentations currently, presented by the owner/operator of Heritage Carpets, Umesh Dayal. With over 15 years of experience in the flooring industry and a true passion for soft flooring, Umesh shares his invaluable knowledge with you during these 50 minute sessions, plus Q+A.

Are you based outside of Auckland? We can let you know when Umesh will next be in your town. Even if you are a one-person practice, we can coordinate with others in your city if that works for everyone.⁠ We can also set up an online presentation just for you, or with colleagues.
