Interview with Brendan Smythe, CPBD

Let's Talk Certification

Each month, a guest CPBD shares the approach they used to prepare for the Certified Professional Building Designer(R) exam. Interviewed by a member of the AIBD "A-Team," guests are also asked why they pursued the building design certification, asked to describe their experiences registering for and taking the CPBD exam, asked for suggestions to others seeking accreditation, and more.
This month's guests are Brendan Smythe, CPBD, in Eagle, Idaho. Brendan earned his CPBD designation just over a year ago.
In addition to having guest CPBDs, each month the program focuses on one aspect of the CPBD Candidate Handbook, this month Steve will talk in-depth about the exam registration process. Time for audience members to ask questions is a part of the agenda. The final edited version of each monthly podcast will be made available on a dedicated website - AIBD.org/podcasts.
Unfortunately, this is not the kind of program that qualifies for continuing education credits.
