WoodSolutions launches flexible, on-demand CPD platform

5 November 2025

WoodSolutions has launched a new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) platform, giving building and design professionals flexible, on-demand access to industry-accredited timber education. The platform is designed to help architects, engineers, builders, and other industry practitioners grow their timber knowledge while conveniently meeting CPD requirements.

Flexible learning that fits professional schedules

The WoodSolutions CPD Platform allows professionals to study webinars at their own pace, complete a short learning activity, and download their CPD certificate. At just $25 per certificate, it’s an affordable, self-paced option for busy professionals who may not be able to attend scheduled live webinars.

“Continuing professional development is essential for keeping skills up to date and supporting innovation in the built environment,” said Kevin Peachey, Head of Built Environment Programs at FWPA.

“Our new CPD Platform ensures professionals can access trusted, evidence-based timber education when it suits them, helping them stay at the forefront of sustainable design and construction practices.”

Independent, trusted timber knowledge

The platform features a wide range of content on timber design, construction techniques, and innovative building solutions. Developed by WoodSolutions, an independent, not-for-profit provider of timber education and resources, and resourced by Forest & Wood Products Australia Ltd (FWPA), each module delivers trusted, evidence-based learning. The on-demand format makes it easy for professionals to build their timber knowledge and apply it directly to real-world projects.

Simple, three-step process:

  1. Watch a webinar
  2. Complete a short learning activity.
  3. Get your CPD certificate
