On Site CPDs

About ACQP On-Site CPD Events & Site Visits

At the ACQP, we believe professional development should be rooted in real-world construction practice, not just theory. That’s why we run a series of on-site CPD events and structured site visits across the UK, giving our members direct exposure to live projects, innovative methods, and best-practice in quality management.

On-Site CPD Sessions

Hosted on live construction projects and historical Venues with the cooperation of contractors and clients.
Delivered by experienced appointed speakers and Technical Specialists.
Fully CPD-accredited, so members can log hours towards their professional development.

Site Visits

Guided tours of significant construction projects at key stages.
Insight into real challenges faced on-site, from materials inspections to snagging control.
Some site and Historical Visits will incur a cost, but the Price will always be Discounted for Members.
Opportunity to ask questions directly to the project delivery teams.
A chance to see first-hand where theory meets practice in construction quality.

Networking & Knowledge-Sharing

Each CPD event or site visit also doubles as a networking forum, allowing ACQP members from across disciplines, architects, consultants, inspectors, and managers, to exchange experiences and build professional links.
By combining structured learning with hands-on observation, ACQP ensures our members remain at the forefront of raising standards in construction quality.



At the ACQP, professional development isn’t just about looking forward, it’s also about learning from the past. Our Historical Site CPD Tours combine guided visits to important architectural and construction landmarks with structured CPD learning.

Why Historical Sites?

They showcase traditional craftsmanship, materials, and methods that still inform today’s standards.
They highlight failures and successes in construction quality that continue to shape modern regulations.
They offer unique lessons in heritage conservation, structural resilience, and design longevity.

What Members Gain

CPD-accredited learning outcomes tied to inspection, quality, and conservation.
First-hand insight into how historic buildings were designed, constructed, and maintained.
Guided talks from conservation experts, engineers, and heritage professionals.
Reflection on how lessons from the past can improve current and future project delivery.

Inclusive and Enriching

These tours are designed to be both educational and enjoyable. Alongside the structured CPD content, members experience the cultural and historical value of some of the UK’s most significant sites, from cathedrals and Pumphouses to industrial landmarks.
By blending heritage insight with professional development, ACQP members leave each tour not only inspired but also better equipped to deliver quality in today’s built environment.
