A typical workshop lasts around 45 minutes, followed by a dedicated question-and-answer session. GreenBlue Urban provides the CPDs free of charge. Allowing approximately one hour in the diary usually gives the presenter enough time to cover the planned material and respond to project-specific questions without rushing the discussion.

Current sessions cover successful SuDS, urban greening, tree planting and related technical practice. Content can be adjusted to reflect your team’s projects, challenges and learning objectives, and attendees receive a CPD certificate. When booking, explain whether the priority is broad professional development or a particular issue such as soil volume, utilities, tree-pit design or SuDS integration.
