Reminder: Tuesday at 2:00 Watch Party

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Whew! Made it through another week.
​
Have you attended one of our Watch Parties?
​
​What is a watch party?​
​
A watch party is a fun and interactive way to experience pre-recorded content (and earn CEs) with others in real-time.
​
Think of it as a virtual viewing party where you can chat and engage with other participants while watching the same video or presentation.
​
This month, we'll watch a one-hour course on designing residential bathrooms for living in place, brought to us by Ron Blank and Associates.
​
So mark your calendars for Tuesday at 2:00 and get ready to learn how to make bathrooms accessible and functional for everyone!
​
​Make Yourself at Home: Designing Residential Bathrooms for Living in Place
Tuesday, November 26, 2025, 2:00 pm ET
​AIBD.org/Tuesday-at-2​
(1.0 CE: P4-Building Planning)
​Save it to your calendar​
​
​ICYMI, you can easily catch up on all the past Watch Party videos.
​
We've organized them all in one place.
​
​Log into your AIBD account and look for the "Tuesday at 2:00 Watch Party Library" link in the right-hand margin.
​
There, you'll find each webinar nicely arranged in folders.

The folder topics correspond to several knowledge areas that are covered in the Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD) Exam.
​
​Gain 12 hours of specialized knowledge in one place.
​
​If you're not certified, it can guide your selection of specific educational topics whenever you decide to expand your learning, and you'll be assured that what knowledge you gain aligns with an industry-wide practice analysis performed by AIBD regularly.
​
If you're a CPBD due for recertification, this guide offers a selection of pre-approved courses conveniently organized by the necessary learning modules.
​
​Stay tuned for more Watch Party Announcements.
​​
The NCBDC Certificate Relations Committee will have its 2025 slate of webinars ready to launch by December 20th.
​
When that happens, you can conveniently learn at your own pace.
​
But if it's easier for you to commit to gathering with other educational enthusiasts on the last Tuesday of every month, join us next Tuesday for Make Yourself at Home: Designing Residential Bathrooms for Living in Place.

Until then,
