SBID recognise the importance of ongoing education as a pillar of an interior designer’s career. Consequently all members are required to participate in annual CPD activities through a range of training, learning and engagement opportunities.
As an industry partner we are certified to deliver educational content for members about our services and area of expertise. Providing guidance on how to care for stone is something that we are passionate about having developed our Athena Aftercare guide in 2021. Available in PDF and hard copy, the purpose is to help home owners to maintain their stone surfaces without needing a professional. Following this, our new approved CPD brings the material to life for Interior Designers so that they can specify stone with confidence. By providing quality information we hope to see the use of natural stone continuing to grow in popularity.
