		+	On 12 February 1965, the Institute was founded and 2025 CIAT celebrates its 60th birthday, a time to reflect and look forward on the remarkable journey that both CIAT and Architectural Technology has had over six decades.
		+
		+	The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) describes itself as ‘…the lead qualifying body for Architectural Technology and represents those practising and studying within the discipline.’
		+
		+	The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) is the global membership qualifying body for Chartered Architectural Technologists. It represents those practising and studying within the discipline and profession of Architectural Technology, and qualifies Chartered Architectural Technologists, MCIAT, a regulated profession and protected title under Royal Charter.
		+
		+	Fellow Membership, FCIAT , which may also only be awarded by CIAT, complements the 'Chartered Architectural Technologist' professional qualification and is an acknowledgement of a Chartered Member's significant contribution to and/or excellence in Architectural Technology.

−	* My CPD platform	+	The institute was originally founded as the Society of Architectural and Associated Technicians (SAAT) in 1965 following a report by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) which recommended the creation of an institute for technicians. In 1986, SAAT became the British Institute of Architectural Technicians (BIAT), then in 1994 the British Institute of Architectural Technologists. On receiving its Royal Charter in 2005 it became the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT).

−	~~We are aware~~ of an ~~issue with the My CPD platform following the recent updates to our website~~ and ~~system~~.	+	It is a membership organisation, funded by, owned by and operated on behalf of its members. It is governed by an Executive Board and Council, both of which are chaired by its president.

−	~~There has been a mismatch in how CPD hours were being recorded, due to the system using the incorrect term dates (1 January – 31 December) rather than our actual CPD term dates (1 May – 30 April).~~	+

*My CPD platform<br />
We are aware of an issue with the My CPD platform following the recent updates to our website and system.

What’s happening?<br />
There has been a mismatch in how CPD hours were being recorded, due to the system using the incorrect term dates (1 January – 31 December) rather than our actual CPD term dates (1 May – 30 April).

What we’ve done<br />
We have updated the system so that all new CPD activities will now be saved using the correct term dates. This will ensure your future CPD records are accurate.

What you need to know<br />
Past CPD entries may still show under the incorrect date range. We are working with our technical partners to find a solution for these historic records.

To avoid confusion, we have placed a notice on the My CPD page explaining the issue while we work on a fix. We know this is not ideal and we are making it a top priority to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
